Commentary on Numbers 9:6
The case of men defiled by dead bodies unable to keep Passover introduces a problem requiring divine solution. Their ceremonial uncleanness prohibited participation in the holy feast, yet they desired to obey. The Hebrew tame (unclean) created an impossible situation—they could not become clean quickly enough. This reveals the inadequacy of the ceremonial system to fully accommodate human frailty. Their plea for inclusion (verse 7) shows genuine piety, leading to divine accommodation (verses 9-11). This pictures how Christ's work removes the barrier between holy God and defiled sinners.
