Ezra 6:19-22

191The exiles held the Passover on 2the fourteenth of the first month.

203For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure. Then 4they 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 5all those who had separated themselves from 6the impurity of the nations of the land to join them, to seek the Lord God of Israel, ate the Passover.

22And 7they held the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with joy, because the Lord had made them happy, and 8had turned the heart of 9the king of Assyria toward them to 10encourage them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
