God Makes a Way
Commentators explain that this verse shows God's grace in action. When people were unavoidably prevented from celebrating the Passover due to ritual uncleanness or a long journey, God didn't simply exclude them. Instead, He provided a 'second Passover' a month later. This demonstrates God's desire for all His people to participate in fellowship with Him and His willingness to make provisions for them.
