2 “Tell the Israelites to celebrate the Passover at the appointed time.
3 That appointed time is the fourteenth day of this month at twilight; they must obey all the rules about it.”
4 So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover,
5 and they did; it was in the Desert of Sinai at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.
6 But some of the people could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were unclean from touching a dead body. So they went to Moses and Aaron that day and
7 said to Moses, “We are unclean because of touching a dead body. But why should we be kept from offering gifts to the Lord at this appointed time? Why can’t we join the other Israelites?”
8 Moses said to them, “Wait, and I will find out what the Lord says about you.”
