1 Esdras 1:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹ And Jeconiah and Shemaiah and his brother Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Ochiel and Joram, captains over thousands, gave the Levites for the Passover five thousand sheep and seven hundred calves.^(A)

¹⁰ This is what took place. The priests and the Levites, having the unleavened bread, stood in proper order according to kindred and the grouping of the ancestral houses, before the people, to make the offering to the Lord as it is written in the book of Moses; this they did in the morning.^{(B) 11} They roasted the Passover lamb with fire, as required, and they boiled the sacrifices in bronze pots and caldrons, with a pleasing odor, and carried them to all the people.^(C)
