Numbers 9:7

7and said to Moses, “We have become unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be kept from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”

7Those men said to him, “Though we are unclean because of a 9:7 Lit soul of mandead person, why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?”

7Those men said to him, “Though we are unclean because of the dead person, why are we restrained from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?”

7Those men said to Moses, “We are [ceremonially] unclean because of [touching] a dead body. Why are we being restrained from presenting the Lord’s offering at its appointed time among the Israelites?”

7and said to Moses, “We are unclean because of a dead body, but why should we be excluded from presenting the Lord’s offering with the other Israelites at the appointed time?”

7They said to Moses, “We went near a dead body. So we aren’t ‘clean.’ But why should we be kept from bringing the Lord’s offering at the appointed time? Why shouldn’t we bring it along with the other Israelites?”
