And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. ] The time now drawing nigh for the observation of it, it being now almost a year since their coming out of Egypt.
2
"Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time.
3
"On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall observe it at its appointed time; you shall observe it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances."
4
So Moses told the sons of Israel to observe the Passover.
5
They observed the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
6
But there were some men who were unclean because of the dead person, so that they could not observe Passover on that day; so they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
