Numbers 9:6

"They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did."

Key Reflection

The people of Israel kept the Passover in the wilderness of Sinai, following precisely the instructions given by the LORD through Moses. For the first time since leaving Egypt, they celebrated this significant feast without the presence of the tabernacle and its full ritual setup, emphasizing their trust in divine guidance even when circumstances were challenging. This act underscored their commitment to obeying God's commandments despite the hardships of their journey.
