They were to work from age 25 to 50.
Numbers 9
v1 - 2nd year 1st month after came out of Egypt. (NOTE: this is after what? Chapter 1?)
God spoke to Moses - In the wilderness of Sinai
v2 - Let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time. - 14th day of this month.
So they observed Passover in the wilderness.
Note: No matter where your location or your circumstances - still obey
v6 - Some men were unclean because of "the dead person"
They came to Moses and said - why can't we observe Passover?
Moses talked to God to get a plan.
God said those who were unable to participate in the Passover in the 1st month could do it in the 2nd month. However-if you just chose not to do it - then you were to be cut off from the people.
God even made provision for strangers in the land who also wanted to participate.
Note: God did not exclude the Gentiles even here.
v15 - as soon as the tabernacle was erected, fire was over it at night and cloud was over it by day - continuously when the cloud moved they knew it was time to pack and move the tabernacle.
v 22 - whether it was a day a month or a year.....if the cloud stayed they camped, if it moved, they moved.
NOTE - wouldn't it be nice to have tht visible sign today!
