Ezra 6:19-21

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ The exiles^(A) observed the Passover^(B) on the fourteenth day of the first month. ²⁰ All of the priests and Levites were ceremonially clean, because they had purified themselves. They killed the Passover lamb for themselves, their priestly brothers, and all the exiles.^{(C) 21} The Israelites who had returned from exile^(D) ate it, together with all who had separated themselves from the uncleanness of the Gentiles of the land^[a](E) in order to worship the Lord, the God of Israel.
