Ezra 6:16-22
16And the children of IsraelH3479, the priestsH3549 and the LevitesH3879, and the restH7606 of the children of the captivity, kept the dedicationH2597 of this houseH1005 of GodH426 with joy. 17And they offered at the dedicationH2597 of this houseH1005 of GodH426 a hundredH3969 bullocks, two hundredH3969 ramsH1798, fourH703 hundredH3969 lambsH563; and for a sin-offering for all IsraelH3479, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of IsraelH3479. 18And they setH6966 the priestsH3549 in their divisions, and the LevitesH3879 in their courses, for the service of GodH426, which is at JerusalemH3390; as it is written in the bookH5609 of Moses.
19And the children of the captivity kept the passoverH6453 upon the fourteenth day of the firstH7223 monthH2320. 20For the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 had purifiedH2891 themselves together; all of them were pureH2889: and they killed the passoverH6453 for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priestsH3548, and for themselves. 21And the children of IsraelH3478 that were come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separatedH914 themselves unto them from the filthiness of the nationsH1471 of the landH776, to seekH1875 Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, did eatH398, 22and kept the feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with joyH8057: for Jehovah had madeH6213 them joyful, and had turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto them, to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
