Numbers 9 NOG

The Second Passover

9 In the first month of the second year after the Israelites left Egypt, Yahweh spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai. He said, 2 “The Israelites must celebrate the Passover at the same time every year. 3 You must celebrate it on the fourteenth day of this month at dusk. Follow all the rules and regulations for the celebration of the Passover.”
4 So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover, 5 and they celebrated it on the fourteenth day of the first month at dusk while they were in the Desert of Sinai. The Israelites did everything as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
6 But there were some men who had become unclean[a] from touching a dead body, and they couldn’t celebrate the Passover that day. They came to Moses and Aaron 7 and said, “We are unclean because we touched a dead body. Why won’t you let us bring our offerings to Yahweh at the same time the rest of the Israelites bring their offerings?”
8 Moses answered them, “Wait here until I find out what Yahweh commands you to do.”
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites: 10 Suppose you or any of your descendants is unclean from touching a dead body or is away on a long trip. You may still celebrate the Passover. 11 You will celebrate it on the fourteenth day of the second month at dusk. You must eat the Passover animal along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 You must never leave any of the meat until morning or break any of the animal’s bones.

 The instructions of Yahweh commanded that none of the bones of a Passover lamb could be broken. 

(Exodus 12:46 ESV 46 It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and you shall not break any of its bones.)

From the first Passover Lamb, to the last Passover Lamb, Jesus

(John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. * John1:29) 

Yahweh's requirements for an acceptible sacrifice remained the same. When Jesus became the Passover lamb for us, none of His bones could be broken in order for Yahweh to accept His body as the sacrifice to take away the sins of the world.     

 A Prophetic word about Jesus crucified body: Psalm 34:20 ESV * 20/ He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.

John 19:31-34 ESV * 

31/ Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32/ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33/ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead,

they did not break his legs.

34/ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 

John 19:36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of His bones will be broken."

Jesus is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8) prophesied centuries before His birth.

You must follow all the rules for the Passover when you celebrate it. 13 But if you are clean[b] and not on a trip and yet don’t bother to celebrate the Passover, you must be excluded from the people. You didn’t bring your offering to Yahweh at the right time. You must suffer the consequences for your sin.

14 “Foreigners living with you may want to celebrate

Yahweh’s Passover.

They must follow these same rules and regulations. The same rules will apply to foreigners and native-born Israelites.”

The Column of Smoke Leads Israel through the Desert

15 On the day the tent of the words of God’s promise was set up, the column of smoke covered it. From evening until morning, the smoke over the tent glowed like fire. 16 The smoke always glowed this way. At night the smoke covering the tent glowed like fire. 17 Whenever the smoke moved from the tent, the Israelites would break camp, and wherever it stopped, the Israelites would set up camp.

18 At Yahweh’s command the Israelites would break camp, and at his command they would set up camp.

As long as the column of smoke stayed over the tent, they would stay in the same place. 19 When the smoke stayed over the tent for a long time, the Israelites obeyed Yahweh’s command and wouldn’t break camp. 20 The same thing happened when the smoke stayed only a few days over the tent: At Yahweh’s command they would set up camp, and at Yahweh’s command they would break camp. 21 Sometimes the column of smoke stayed only from evening until morning. When the smoke moved in the morning, they broke camp. Day or night, when the smoke moved, they broke camp. 22 Whether it was two days, a month, or a year, as long as the column of smoke stayed over the tent, the Israelites would stay in the same place and not break camp. But when the smoke moved, they would break camp. 23 At Yahweh’s command they set up camp, and at his command they broke camp. They obeyed the command that Yahweh had given through Moses.
