Números 9:13 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 9:13

But the man that [is] clean
Free from any pollution by a dead body, or the like:

and is not in a journey;
in a distant country; for if he was on a journey in his own nation, he ought to return and attend the passover, which all the males from the several parts of the land were obliged unto; wherefore the Vulgate Latin version of ( Numbers 9:10 ) ; is a wrong one; "or in a way afar off in your nation"; for at whatsoever distance they were in their own nation, they were bound to appear:

and forbeareth to keep the passover;
the first passover in the first month, the month Nisan, wilfully, through negligence, or not caring to be at the expense and trouble of it, or on any pretence whatsoever: Ben Gersom interprets it of one that will not keep neither the first nor the second passover:

even the same soul shall be cut off from his people;
either be excommunicated from them, or cut off by death by the immediate hand of God:

because he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed
season:
this is the ground and reason of the resentment; it was a breach of the divine command, which required this offering; ingratitude to God, being a thank offering for a singular deliverance; and this aggravated by its not being brought at the appointed time, which was the fit ti me for it:

that man shall bear his sin;
be chargeable with the guilt of it, and bear the punishment of it; he on himself, as Aben Ezra notes, he, and he only; not his wife and family, for he being the head and master of the family, it lay upon him to provide the passover lamb for himself and his house.

Números 9:13 In-Context

11 "La celebrarán a los catorce días del segundo mes, al atardecer; la comerán con pan sin levadura y hierbas amargas.

12 "Nada dejarán de ella hasta la mañana, ni quebrarán hueso de ella; conforme a todos los estatutos de la Pascua la celebrarán.

13 "Pero si alguno que está limpio y no anda de viaje, deja de celebrar la Pascua, esa persona será cortada de entre su pueblo, porque no presentó la ofrenda del SEÑOR a su tiempo señalado. Ese hombre llevará su pecado.

14 "Y si un forastero reside entre vosotros y celebra la Pascua al SEÑOR, conforme al estatuto de la Pascua y conforme a su ordenanza lo hará; tendréis un solo estatuto, tanto para el forastero como para el nativo de la tierra."

15 Y el día que fue erigido el tabernáculo, la nube cubrió el tabernáculo, la tienda del testimonio, y al atardecer estaba sobre el tabernáculo como una apariencia de fuego, hasta la mañana.
