NUMBERS—NOTE ON Numbers 9:1 The first Passover took place in Egypt just before the exodus. So this Passover, celebrated a year later at Sinai, was the first one that could look back to God’s faithfulness in bringing the people out of Egypt and through the Red Sea. On the fourteenth day (vv. Numbers 9:3, Numbers 9:5) places the celebration between the events described in chs. Numbers 7:1 and the censuses of chs. Numbers 1:1. according to all its statutes. See Exodus 12:1, which describes the original Passover in Egypt and gives many regulations about later Passover celebrations.
