The First Post-Captivity Passover^(A)

^19 [a]The former exiles^[b] observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month ²⁰ because the priests and descendants of Levi had purified themselves together—all of them were pure—and they killed the Passover lamb^[c] for every former exile,^[d] for their relatives the priests, and for themselves.
