Ezra 6:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Passover Is Celebrated

¹⁹ The exiles celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. ²⁰ Because the priests and the Levites together had purified themselves, all of them were ceremonially pure. The Levites slaughtered the Passover for all of the exiles, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves. ²¹ The Israelites who had returned from the exile ate the Passover lambs, together with every person who had separated himself from the impurity of the nations of the land in order to join them, in order to seek the Lord, the God of Israel.
