Passover and Unleavened Bread with joy

19And the sons of the exile kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

20For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves as one; all of them were clean. And they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the sons of the exile, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.

21The sons of Israel who had returned from the exile ate, together with everyone who had separated himself from the uncleanness of the peoples of the land to join them, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel.

22And they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with joy, because Yahweh had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
