Anchor Text: Exod 12 — The Passover
Significance: Exodus 12:10 commands that nothing of the Passover lamb remain until morning -- any leftovers must be burned with fire. Numbers 9:12 restates this rule within the comprehensive wilderness Passover legislation: "They must not leave any of it until morning" (לֹא יַשְׁאִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד בֹּקֶר). The Numbers passage quotes Exodus almost verbatim, confirming that every detail of the original Passover ordinance carries forward into the annual observance. Numbers 9:1-14 also adds the delayed-Passover provision and the foreigner-inclusion rule, expanding the Exodus legislation while maintaining all its original stipulations unchanged.

Anchor Text: Exod 12 — The Passover
Significance: Exodus 12:10 commands that no Passover meat remain until morning, and Numbers 9:1-14 reaffirms this and all Passover statutes (חֻקַּת הַפֶּסַח, chuqqat happesach) for Israel's observance in the Wilderness of Sinai. Numbers 9 extends the original legislation by introducing a provision for those ceremonially unclean or on a journey to observe a second Passover one month later—a development not found in Exodus 12. This expansion demonstrates that the Passover institution was not static but required ongoing divine instruction to address new circumstances while preserving the integrity of the original ordinance.
