Ezra 6:19-22
World English Bible
19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 20 Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves. 21 The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate, 22 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; because Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God, the God of Israel’s house.

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.
