Numbers 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 9:14

And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the
passover unto the Lord
Then he must become a proselyte of righteousness, and be circumcised, or otherwise be might not eat of the passover, ( Exodus 12:48 ) ; Ben Gersom interprets this of the second passover, and of a proselyte that was not obliged to the first, he not being then a proselyte, but became one between the first and the second; and so Aben Ezra understands it of a second passover, though he observes, that some say the first is meant:

according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the
manner thereof, so shall he do;
according to the several rites and ceremonies, whether of the first or second passover, that an Israelite was obliged to observe, the same a proselyte was to observe, and what they were has been already taken notice of:

ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for him that
was born in the land:
for a proselyte, and a native of Israel; see ( Exodus 12:49 ) .

Numbers 9:14 In-Context

12 Do not leave any of the food until the following morning and do not break any of the animal's bones. Observe the Passover according to all the regulations.

13 But if any of you are ritually clean and not away on a journey and do not observe the Passover, you shall no longer be considered my people, because you did not present the offering to me at the appointed time. You must suffer the consequences of your sin.

14 "If foreigners living among you want to keep the Passover, they must observe it according to all the rules and regulations. The same law applies to everyone, whether native or foreigner."

15 On the day the Tent of the Lord's presence was set up, a cloud came and covered it. At night the cloud looked like fire.
