Numbers 9:9-13

The Passover Celebrated

9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 "Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If any one of you or of your descendants is unclean through touching a dead body, or is on a long journey, he shall still keep the Passover to the Lord. 11 j In the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight they shall keep it. k They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 l They shall leave none of it until the morning, m nor break any of its bones; n according to all the statute for the Passover they shall keep it. 13 But if anyone who is clean and is not on a journey fails to keep the Passover, o that person shall be cut off from his people because he did not bring the Lord's p offering at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin.
