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.

10 Tell the Israelites: When any of you or your descendants are unclean from contact with a corpse or are on a long trip, they may still keep the Passover to the LORD.
11 They will keep it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They will eat the Passover lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12 They must not leave any of it until morning, nor break any of its bones. They will keep the Passover according to all its regulations.
13 But any persons who are clean and not on a trip, yet don't keep the Passover, those persons will be cut off from their people, because they didn't present the LORD's offering at its appointed time. Those persons will bear their sin.
14 If an immigrant resides among you and wishes to keep the Passover to the LORD, that one also will keep it according to its regulations and its customary practices. There will be one set of regulations for both of you, for the immigrant and for the native of the land.
