They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts. Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up any part that is left over. This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover. |

Numbers 9:3 Summary
This verse is telling us that the Israelites were to observe the Passover at a specific time, which was at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. This was a special time for them to remember how God had rescued them from slavery in Egypt, as seen in Exodus 12:14. Just like the Israelites, we can remember and celebrate our own salvation and redemption through Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7-8). By following God's instructions and guidelines, we can ensure that our worship and celebration are pleasing to Him and meaningful to us.
