Anchor Text: Exod 12 — The Passover
Significance: Exodus 12:10 commands that none of the Passover lamb shall remain until morning: "You must not leave any of it until morning; whatever remains until morning you shall burn with fire." Numbers 9:1-14 reiterates the entire Passover observance for the second year in the wilderness, explicitly requiring compliance with "all its statutes and all its ordinances" -- which includes the Exodus 12:10 provision against leftovers. The Numbers passage demonstrates the first post-Exodus Passover celebration, confirming that the Exodus legislation was not a one-time emergency measure but a binding annual observance with all its original stipulations intact.

Anchor Text: Exod 12 — The Passover
Significance: Exodus 12:10 stipulates that no Passover lamb may remain until morning, and Numbers 9:1 records the LORD commanding Israel to keep the Passover "at its appointed time" (בְּמוֹעֲדוֹ, bemo'ado) in the second year after the exodus. This reaffirmation in the Wilderness of Sinai demonstrates that the Passover ordinances given on the night of deliverance became permanent fixtures in Israel's liturgical calendar, observed annually even before entry into the promised land. The wilderness setting underscores that Passover remembrance was not contingent on settlement in Canaan but was constitutive of Israel's identity as a redeemed people.
