Numbers 9:1-13

9:1

[A.M. 2514. B.C. 1490. An. Ex. Is. 2. Abib. in the first month.]

The fourteen first verses of this chapter evidently refer to a time previous to the commencement of this book; but as there is no evidence of a transposition, it is better to conclude with Houbigant, that "it is enough to know, that these books contain an account of things transacted in the days of Moses, though not in their regular or chronological order."
