This month is historically and spiritually important because it commemorates the Exodus from Egypt, a foundational event in Israel's history. The Hebrew root for "first" (רִאשׁוֹן, rishon) emphasizes primacy and precedence, indicating the importance of this time in God's redemptive plan.<p><b>of the second year</b><br />This phrase situates the narrative in a specific time frame, the second year after the Exodus. It highlights the ongoing journey of the Israelites and their transition from slavery to becoming a covenant community. The second year marks a period of learning and establishing identity as God's chosen people, emphasizing growth and preparation for entering the Promised Land.<p><b>after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt</b><br />This phrase recalls the miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, a central theme in the Old Testament. The Hebrew term for "come out" (יָצָא, yatsa) conveys the idea of departure and liberation, underscoring God's power and faithfulness in fulfilling His promises. This historical context serves as a constant reminder of God's salvation and the call to live in obedience to Him.<p><b>the LORD spoke to Moses</b><br />Here, "the LORD" (יהוה, Yahweh) is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature and His personal relationship with Israel. The act of speaking to Moses signifies divine communication and guidance, reinforcing Moses' role as God's chosen leader and mediator. This divine interaction underscores the importance of revelation and obedience in the life of the covenant community.<p><b>in the Wilderness of Sinai</b><br />The "Wilderness of Sinai" is a significant location in Israel's journey, where they received the Law and entered into a covenant with God. The wilderness represents both a place of testing and divine encounter, where God shapes His people through trials and instruction. The Hebrew word for "wilderness" (מִדְבָּר, midbar) can also imply a place of order and arrangement, suggesting that even in desolation, God is present and purposeful in His dealings with His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/numbers/9.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>IX.</span><p>(1) <span class= "bld">In the first month of the second year.</span>--The celebration of the Passover, as recorded in this chapter, preceded in order of time the numbering of the people recorded in Numbers 1, and the other events which were connected with it. No provision had hitherto been made for the celebration of the Passover in the wilderness. A special injunction was, therefore, required for this purpose. Had it not been for the rebellion of the people, the next Passover after the original Egyptian Passover would have been celebrated in the land of Canaan, and it was for that one only that provision had been made (<a href="/exodus/12-25.htm" title="And it shall come to pass, when you be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.">Exodus 12:25</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 1.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In the first month of the second year.</span> Before the census, and all the other events recorded in this book, except in part the offerings of the princes (see <a href="/numbers/7-1.htm">Numbers 7:1</a>).
