Guiding Questions: Numbers 9

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What is the “first month” of the year according to Numbers 9:1 and what, then, is the “New Year” holiday?
  2. Is there any reference to Hag HaMatzot in these passages?
  3. Are those who were unclean permitted to observe Pesah (Numbers 9:6)?
  4. What ruling is set down for those in this category of “unclean” (Numbers 9:10-12)?
  5. What/when is the “one law for the stranger and for the citizen” to obtain?
  6. With the completion of the dedication of the Mishkan and the dedication of its personnel, what now hovers over it?
  7. What is the function of the “hovering cover?”
  8. Who/what, then, determines the itinerary of the Israelites in the wilderness?
  9. Lest there be any uncertainty as to the movement of the Israelite camp, what does Numbers 9:23 affirm?
