Numbers 9:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 ¶ And certain men were defiled [a]by a dead man, that they might not keep the Passover the same day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron the same day.
7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by a dead man: wherefore are we kept back that we may not [b]offer an offering unto the Lord in the time thereunto appointed among the children of Israel?
8 Then Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

Numbers 9:6-8
New International Version
6 But some of them could not celebrate the Passover on that day because they were ceremonially unclean(A) on account of a dead body.(B) So they came to Moses and Aaron(C) that same day 7 and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?(D)”
8 Moses answered them, “Wait until I find out what the Lord commands concerning you.”(E)
