And Moses bade the children of Israel that they
should offer Passover, and they offered Passover the fourteenth
day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: and did
according to all that the LORD commanded Moses. And it chanced
that certain men which were defiled with a dead corpse that they
might not offer Passover the same day, came before Moses and Aaron
the same day, {time} and said: we are defiled upon a dead corpse,
wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an offering unto
the LORD in the due season, among the children of Israel? And
Moses said unto them: tarry, that I may hear what the LORD will
command you. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the
children of Israel and say: If any man among you or your children
after you be unclean by the reason of a corpse or is in the way
far off, then let him offer Passover unto the LORD: the fourteenth
day of the second month at even, and eat it with sweet bread and
sour herbs, and let them leave none of it unto the morning nor
break any bone of it. And according to all the ordinance of the
Passover let them offer it. But if a man be clean and not let in a
journey, and yet was negligent to offer Passover, the same soul
shall perish from his people, because he brought not an offering
unto the LORD in his due season: and he shall bear his sin.
