Numbers 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 9:11

The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall
keep it
The mouth Ijar, as the Targum of Jonathan, which answers to part of our April and part of May; so that there was a month allowed for those that were defiled to cleanse themselves; and for those on a journey to return home and prepare for the passover, which was not to be totally omitted, nor deferred any longer; and it was to be kept on the same day of the month, and at the same time of the day the first passover was observed; still the more to keep in mind the saving of their firstborn; and their deliverance out of Egypt at that time: an instance of keeping such a passover we have in ( 2 Chronicles 30:1 2 Chronicles 30:2 )

[and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs];
in the same manner as the first passover was eaten, ( Exodus 12:8 ) ; only no mention is made of keeping the feast of unleavened bread seven days, which some think those were not obliged unto at this time, only to keep the feast of the passover.

Numbers 9:11 In-Context

9 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

10 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), yet he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah;

11 in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things they eat it;

12 they do not leave of till morning; and a bone they do not break in it: according to all the statute of the passover they prepare it.

13 `And the man who is clean, and hath not been on a journey, and hath ceased to prepare the passover, even that person hath been cut off from his people; because the offering of Jehovah he hath not brought near, in its appointed season, that man doth bear his sin.
