Numbers 9:1
英文原文
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
在若干细节上，这一次的逾越节既不同于出埃及时所守的那一次，也不同于后来一切的逾越节。例如，当百姓还住在帐棚里的时候，Exodus 12:22 的指示无法按字面遵守；这指示可视为已被 Leviticus 17:3-6 所取代（参 Deuteronomy 16:5 ff）。
至于其他方面，例如需要多少只羊羔、如何在指定的时间内把逾越节祭牲的血弹在坛上等等，摩西律法的执掌者们在这里也如在别处一样，基于事情本身的性质，有权吩咐施行律法所必需的安排。
英文原文
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of Exodus 12:22 could not be carried out in the letter while the people were dwelling in tents; and may be regarded as superseded by Leviticus 17:3-6 (compare Deuteronomy 16:5 ff).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.

Numbers 9:6
“有几个人”——大概是米沙利和以利撒反，他们在这逾越节前一周之内埋葬了他们的堂兄弟拿答和亚比户（Leviticus 10:4-5）。
英文原文
Certain men - Probably Mishael and Elizaphan, who buried their cousins, Nadab and Abihu, within a week of this Passover Leviticus 10:4-5.

Numbers 9:11
后期的犹太人称之为"小逾越节"。由于它是在正式逾越节一个月之后才举行，人便有充裕的时间从律法上的不洁中得着洁净，也能从旅程中赶回——除非那旅程极其遥远。参较希西家的举措（2 Chronicles 30:1-3）。
英文原文
The later Jews speak of this as the "little Passover." Coming, as it did, a month after the proper Passover, it afforded ample time for a man to purify himself from legal defilement, as also to return from any but a very distant journey. Compare Hezekiah's Acts 2 Chronicles Acts 30:1-3.
12
Numbers 9:12
"照着一切的条例"——即那些与逾越节羊羔有关的条例，而不是关乎节期的条例；因为按犹太人的说法，小逾越节只持续一天；人们也不认为届时必须把酵从各家中除去。
英文原文
According to all the ordinances - i. e. those relating to the Passover lamb, not those concerning the feast, for the Little Passover lasted, according to the Jews, only one day; nor was it held to be needful that at it leaven should be put away out of the houses.

Numbers 9:15
"云……"——这现象最早在出埃及时就已出现（Exodus 13:21-22）。云所遮盖的并非整个建筑，而是"法柜的帐幕"，即容纳"法柜"（Exodus 25:16、Exodus 25:22）和圣所的那部分幕结构。如今，这现象又与本书随后所要叙述的行程相联系而再次得到描述。
英文原文
The cloud ... - The phenomenon first appeared at the Exodus itself, Exodus 13:21-22. The cloud did not cover the whole structure, but the "tent of the testimony," i. e. the enclosure which contained the "ark of the testimony" Exodus 25:16, Exodus 25:22, and the holy place. The phenomenon is now again described in connection with the journeyings which are to be narrated in the sequel of the book.
22
Numbers 9:22
“或一年”——按字面是“日子”，如 Leviticus 25:29 所示，习语上指一年；这说法相当于“一段完整的时期”，但未必是指一整年的期限。
英文原文
A year - literally, "days," idiomatically a year Leviticus 25:29, an expression equivalent to "a full period," though not necessarily the period of a year.
西奈的逾越节。这次逾越节是在正月守的，就时间而言，先于 Numbers 1:1及以下所记的人口统计，也先于本书所记载的其他事件。然而此事记在这里，是作为本章 Numbers 9:6-14 论补过逾越节之规例的引言；守这节乃是百姓驻留西奈期间最后发生的几件事之一。
