Numbers 9 | When to Celebrate Passover After You've Been Hangin' Around Corpses

God told Moses to make sure the Israelites celebrate the Passover when it's time to celebrate the Passover and Moses told 'em that at Sinai, and they agreed to celebrate the Passover when it's time to celebrate the Passover.

Some of them, though, weren't able to celebrate on the appointed Passover day because they were unclean (due to some spoilsport corpse).  Moses thought about it and said "lemme talk to the LAWD 'bout this corpse business."

"Sorry 'bout the delay of celebration, guys." --corpses

God said it's cool, that they can celebrate the Passover next month, presumably after much ritualistic bull-slaughtering and whatnot.  He went on to express his disdain for those who are ceremonially clean and can celebrate Passover when they're supposed to but don't celebrate it and told Moses that any foreigner living with the Israelites must also celebrate Passover whenever they can.

A cloud appeared above the Tentmoot and stayed there a bit.  At night, it looked like fire, so it could guide the Israelites during the night.  When the cloud lifted up, the Tentmoot was uprooted and the Israelites followed the cloud around the desert until it stopped again to let the Israelites camp.

"Sorry about the wandering-in-the-desert-for-forty-years-in-circles thing.  Turns out I've been using Apple Maps the whole time.  My bad." --God
