Numbers 9:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ and they did; it was in the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Sinai ·at twilight [^Lbetween the two evenings] on the fourteenth day of the first month. The ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.

⁶ But some of the people could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were unclean [^Cin a ritual sense; 5:2] from touching a dead body. So they went to Moses and Aaron that day and ⁷ said to Moses, “We are unclean because of touching a dead body. But why should we be kept from offering gifts to the Lord at this appointed time? Why can’t we join the other ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel]?”
