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.
