Context: Numbers 9
9And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
11The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
13But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

God commands the Israelites to keep the Passover, even if they are ceremonially unclean.
Commentary
In Numbers chapter 9, the Israelites are instructed to observe the Passover. This is a significant event in the history of the Israelites, as it marks the beginning of their journey out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. The Lord instructs Moses to tell the people that they must observe the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, and that anyone who is unclean or on a journey must still observe the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month.
