Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 9:11
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs].
The later Jews speak of this as the little Passover. Coming, as it did, a month after the proper Passover, it afforded ample time for a man to purify himself from legal defilement, as also to return from any but a very distant journey. Compare Hezekiahs act 2Ch 30:1-3.

The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it,…. The mouth Ijar, as the Targum of Jonathan, which answers to part of our April and part of May; so that there was a month allowed for those that were defiled to cleanse themselves; and for those on a journey to return home and prepare for the passover, which was not to be totally omitted, nor deferred any longer; and it was to be kept on the same day of the month, and at the same time of the day the first passover was observed; still the more to keep in mind the saving of their firstborn; and their deliverance out of Egypt at that time: an instance of keeping such a passover we have in 2Ch 30:1, c.
[and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs] in the same manner as the first passover was eaten, Ex 12:8; only no mention is made of keeping the feast of unleavened bread seven days, which some think those were not obliged unto at this time, only to keep the feast of the passover.

11. The fourteenth day of the second month Thus a fundamental law is supplemented, and a standing ordinance is permanently established, in answer to prayer, first to Moses and then to the Lord. See chap. xxxvi for another instance. Bitter herbs of five kinds are eaten by the Jews as a salad with the paschal lamb; namely, lettuce, endive, chicory, and two others, the Hebrew names of which have not been identified with known plants. A very large number of bitter plants are eaten as salads in Syria, even the hearts of all the larger wild thistles. Says Tristram: “The leaves of the elecampane were gathered for salad by the Jehalin Arabs who accompanied us, as well as many cresses which grew in the southern desert, or at the south of the Dead Sea.”
