Contextual Overview
1 During the first month of Israel's second year in the Sinai Desert, the Lord had told Moses 2 to say to the people, "Celebrate Passover 3 in the evening of the fourteenth day of this month and do it by following all the regulations." 4Moses told the people what the Lord had said, and they celebrated Passover there in the desert in the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 Some people in Israel's camp had touched a dead body and had become unfit to worship the Lord , and they could not celebrate Passover. But they asked Moses and Aaron, 7 "Even though we have touched a dead body, why can't we celebrate Passover and offer sacrifices to the Lord at the same time as everyone else?" 8 Moses said, "Wait here while I go into the sacred tent and find out what the Lord says about this." 9 The Lord then told Moses 10 to say to the community of Israel: If any of you or your descendants touch a dead body and become unfit to worship me, or if you are away on a long journey, you may still celebrate Passover. 11 But it must be done in the second month, in the evening of the fourteenth day. Eat the Passover lamb with thin bread and bitter herbs,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Passover at Sinai. This, as being kept in the first month, was prior in time to the numbering of Numbers 1:1 ff, and to the other events narrated in this book. It is, however, recorded here as introductory to the ordinance of Numbers 9:6-14 in this chapter respecting the supplementary Passover; the observance of which was one of the last occurrences during the halt at Sinai.
Numbers 9:5
In some details, the present Passover differed both from that kept at the Exodus itself and from all subsequent Passovers. For example, the direction of Exodus 12:22 could not be carried out in the letter while the people were dwelling in tents; and may be regarded as superseded by Leviticus 17:3-6 (compare Deuteronomy 16:5 ff).
In other points, such as how many lambs would be wanted, how the blood of the Paschal victims could be sprinkled upon the altar in the time specified, etc., the administrators of the Law of Moses would here, as elsewhere, have, from the nature of the case, power to order what might be requisite to carry the law into effect.
