Numbers
Those who were unclean because of a dead body or were on a journey could keep the Passover in the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight. The text also states that anyone who was clean and not traveling but neglected the Passover would be cut off. See Numbers 9:9–14.
9Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the Passover to Yahweh.
11In the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs:
12they shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break a bone of it: according to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
13But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbears to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he didn`t offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
14If a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the Passover to Yahweh; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to the ordinance of it, so shall he do: you shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him who is born in the land.
