Commentary for Sukkah 50:2

אלא עוסקין במת מצוה היו שחל שביעי שלהן להיות בערב פסח שנאמר (במדבר ט, ו) ולא יכלו לעשות הפסח ביום ההוא ביום ההוא אין יכולין לעשות הא למחר יכולין לעשות

Rather they had been occupied with a dead body that one is commanded to bury, whose the seventh day [of purification] fell on the eve of Pesah, as it is said, "They could not keep the Passover on that day," on ‘that’ day they could not keep the Passover, but the next day they could.
