Num 9:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6 : Some men become ceremonially unclean by touching a dead body (v. 6; Num. xix. 11 ). Because of this, they cannot take part in the Passover at the usual time (Lev. vii. 20 ). This was not their fault, but a necessary result of caring for the dead. They bring their concern to Moses, wanting to find a way to still participate.
