1 Esdras 7:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ The Israelites who had returned from exile, those who had separated themselves from the scandal of the neighboring peoples and sought the Lord, ate the Passover meal. ¹⁴ They also celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days, rejoicing before the Lord, ¹⁵ because he had changed the attitude of the king of the Assyrians toward them, to prepare them for the service of the Lord God of Israel.
