Ezra 6:19-22

19On the fourteenth dayH702H6240 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, the exilesH1121H1473 keptH6213 the PassoverH6453. 20AllH3605 the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881H259 had purified themselvesH2891 and were ceremonially cleanH2889.

And the Levites slaughteredH7819 the Passover lambH6453 for allH3605 the exilesH1121H1473, for their priestlyH3548 brothersH251, and for themselves. 21The IsraelitesH1121H3478 who had returnedH7725 from exileH1473 ate itH398, together with allH3605 who had separated themselvesH914 from the uncleannessH2932 of the peoplesH14711 of the landH776 to seekH413H1875 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

22For sevenH7651 daysH3117 they keptH6213 the FeastH2282 of Unleavened BreadH46822 with joyH8057, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 had made them joyfulH8055 and turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 toward themH5921 to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 on the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
