The Passover Celebrated by the Returnees

Ezra 6:19-22

6
Chapter 6
19 The exiles kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 20 The priests had purified themselves, and the Levites were all pure as one man. They slaughtered the Passover lambs for all the exiles, for their fellow priests, and for themselves. 21 The Israelites who had returned from exile ate it, along with everyone who had separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land, in order to seek the LORD, the God of Israel. 22 They kept the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days with joy, for the LORD had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
