Ezra 6:19-22

Ezra 6:19-22

[19] And the children  of the captivity  kept  the passover  upon the fourteenth  day of the first  month.  [20] For the priests  and the Levites  were purified  together,  all of them were pure,  and killed  the passover  for all the children  of the captivity,  and for their brethren  the priests,  [21] And the children  of Israel,  which were come again  out of captivity,  and all such as had separated  themselves unto them from the filthiness  of the heathen  of the land,  to seek  God  of Israel,  did eat,  [22] And kept  the feast  of unleavened bread  seven  days  with joy:  for the LORD  had made them joyful,  and turned  the heart  of the king  of Assyria  unto them, to strengthen  their hands  in the work  of the house  of God,  of Israel.
