Numbers 9:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Now there were certain people who were unclean through touching a corpse, so that they could not keep the passover on that day. They came before Moses and Aaron on that day, ⁷ and said to him, “Although we are unclean through touching a corpse, why must we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering at its appointed time among the Israelites?” ⁸ Moses spoke to them, “Wait, so that I may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”
