Ezra 6:19-22
Authorized (King James) Version
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month. 20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. 21 And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel, did eat, 22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

The Passover Celebrated(A)
19 [a]And the descendants of the captivity kept the Passover (B)on the fourteenth day of the first month. 20 For the priests and the Levites had (C)purified themselves; all of them were ritually clean. And they (D)slaughtered the Passover lambs for all the descendants of the captivity, for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. 21 Then the children of Israel who had returned from the captivity ate together with all who had separated themselves from the (E)filth[b] of the nations of the land in order to seek the Lord God of Israel. 22 And they kept the (F)Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy; for the Lord made them joyful, and (G)turned the heart (H)of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

The Passover
19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles celebrated the Passover.(A) 20 The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered(B) the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their relatives the priests and for themselves. 21 So the Israelites who had returned from the exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves(C) from the unclean practices(D) of their Gentile neighbors in order to seek the Lord,(E) the God of Israel. 22 For seven days they celebrated with joy the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(F) because the Lord had filled them with joy by changing the attitude(G) of the king of Assyria so that he assisted them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel.
