Passover Celebrated

^19 (A)And the exiles celebrated the Passover on ^(B)the fourteenth of the first month. ^20 (C)For the priests and the Levites had cleansed themselves together; all of them were clean. Then ^(D)they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, both for their brothers the priests and for themselves. ²¹ Then the sons of Israel who returned from exile and ^(E)all those who had separated themselves from ^(F)the uncleanness of the nations of the land to join them, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate the Passover. ²² And ^(G)they celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with gladness, for Yahweh had caused them to be glad and ^(H)had turned the heart of ^(I)the king of Assyria toward them to ^[a]strengthen them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
