Ezra 6:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Passover Is Celebrated

¹⁹ On the fourteenth day of the first month, those who had returned from exile celebrated the Passover. ²⁰ Since the priests and Levites had cleansed themselves, all of them were ⌞now⌟ clean.^[a] They killed the Passover lambs for all the people who had returned from exile, for the rest of the priests, and for themselves. ²¹ The lambs were eaten by the Israelites who had returned from exile and by all who had separated themselves from the unclean practices of the non-Jews in the land to worship the Lord God of Israel.
