Numbers 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 9:12

They shall leave none of it unto the morning
None of the flesh of the passover lamb, what was left was to be burnt with fire, ( Exodus 12:10 ) ;

nor break any bone of it;
the same was enjoined, (See Gill on Exodus 12:46);

according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it:
as when observed in its time, excepting the feast of unleavened bread, which followed the first passover, and those rites which were peculiar to the passover, as kept at their first coming out of Egypt; as the sprinkling the blood of the lamb on the doorposts, eating it in haste, &c.

Numbers 9:12 In-Context

10 “Tell the Israelites: ‘When any one of you or your descendants is unclean because of a dead body, or is away on a journey, he may still observe the Passover to the LORD.

11 Such people are to observe it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;

12 they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones. They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes.

13 But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.

14 If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”
