Ezra 6:16-22

16And the sons of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the 1exiles, 2celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy. 17They offered for the dedication of this temple of God a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel 3twelve male goats, corresponding to the number of the tribes of Israel. 18Then they appointed the priests to 4their divisions and the Levites in 5their sections for the service of God in Jerusalem, 6as it is written in the Book of Moses.

197The exiles held the Passover on 8the fourteenth of the first month. 209For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure. Then 10they slaughtered the Passover lambs for all the exiles, both for their brothers the priests and for themselves. 21And the sons of Israel who returned from exile and 11all those who had separated themselves from 12the impurity of the nations of the land to join them, to seek the Lord God of Israel, ate the Passover. 22And 13they held the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with joy, because the Lord had made them happy, and 14had turned the heart of 15the king of Assyria toward them to 16encourage them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
