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
在若干細節上，這次守的逾越節既不同於出埃及當時所守的逾越節，也不同於後來一切的逾越節。例如，百姓仍住帳棚期間，Exodus 12:22 的指示無法按字面遵行；這指示可視為已被 Leviticus 17:3-6 取代（參 Deuteronomy 16:5 ff）。
至於其他方面——例如需要多少隻羊羔、如何在指定的時間內把逾越節祭牲的血灑在壇上等——摩西律法的執行者在此處也如同別處一樣，就事情的性質而言，有權下令安排施行律法所需的一切。
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of Exodus 12:22 could not be carried out in the letter while the people were dwelling in tents; and may be regarded as superseded by Leviticus 17:3-6 (compare Deuteronomy 16:5 ff).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
「有幾個人」——大概就是米沙利和以利撒反；他們在這逾越節前後一週之內，埋葬了他們的堂兄弟拿答和亞比戶（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
後期的猶太人稱這節期為「小逾越節」。由於它在正規逾越節之後一個月才舉行，便給人充裕的時間從律法上的不潔中得著潔淨，而且只要旅程不是極遠，也有時間趕回來。參希西家的舉措（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.

Numbers 9:12
「按一切的條例」——即與逾越節羊羔有關的條例，而非關乎節期的條例；因為照猶太人的說法，小逾越節只持續一天，而且他們也不認為屆時必須把酵從家中除去。
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
「雲彩……」——這現象最早在出埃及之時出現（Exodus 13:21-22）。雲彩所覆蓋的不是整個建築，而是「法櫃的帳幕」，即容納「法櫃」（Exodus 25:16、Exodus 25:22）與聖所的圍幕。如今，這現象又在本書後文將要敘述的行程中再次被描寫。
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
「一年」——按字面是「許多日子」，按慣用語指一年（Leviticus 25:29），相當於「一段完整的時期」，儘管不一定是一年之期。
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.
在西奈守逾越節。這次逾越節既是在正月守的,在時間上便早於 Numbers 1:1 及以下所載的數點百姓,也早於本書所述的其他事件。然而,此事記在這裡,是作為本章 Numbers 9:6-14 中有關補守逾越節之條例的引言;而補守逾越節的遵行,乃是在西奈停留期間最後發生的事件之一。
