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.

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.
