And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. ] The time now drawing nigh for the observation of it, it being now almost a year since their coming out of Egypt.
2
Let the children of Israel also hold the passover at its set time;
3
on the fourteenth day in this month between the two evenings, ye shall hold it at its set time; according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof shall ye hold it.
4
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should hold the passover.
5
And they held the passover in the first [month] on the fourteenth day of the month, between the two evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
6
And there were men, who were unclean through the dead body of a man, and could not hold the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
