Numbers 9:6 Context
4And Moses spake vnto the children of Israel that they should keepe the Passeouer. 5And they kept the Passeouer on the fourteenth day of the first moneth at Euen, in the wildernesse of Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 6¶ And there were certaine men who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keepe the Passeouer on that day: and they came before Moses, and before Aaron on that day. 7And those men said vnto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept backe, that wee may not offer an offring of the Lord in his appointed season among the children of Israel? 8And Moses saide vnto them, Stand still, and I will heare what the Lord wil command concerning you.
