What is happening here?
Numbers 9 records Israel’s second Passover, provides a merciful provision for those ceremonially unclean or away on a journey, warns against deliberate neglect of Passover, and describes the cloud over the tabernacle. The cloud determines when Israel camps and when it travels, whether for a day, a month, or longer. The chapter joins remembrance of redemption with daily dependence on the LORD’s direction.
