Numbers 9:7-11
Expanded Bible
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 [L sons/T children of Israel]?”

Eat the lamb with bitter herbs [Ex. 12:8] and bread made without ·yeast [leaven].
