Ezra 6:20 in Context — Ezra 6
18 Ils établirent les sacrificateurs selon leurs classes et les Lévites selon leurs divisions pour le service de Dieu à Jérusalem, comme il est écrit dans le livre de Moïse.
19 Les fils de la captivité célébrèrent la Pâque le quatorzième jour du premier mois.
20 Les sacrificateurs et les Lévites s’étaient purifiés de concert, tous étaient purs; ils immolèrent la Pâque pour tous les fils de la captivité, pour leurs frères les sacrificateurs, et pour eux-mêmes.
21 Les enfants d’Israël revenus de la captivité mangèrent la Pâque, avec tous ceux qui s’étaient éloignés de l’impureté des nations du pays et qui se joignirent à eux pour chercher l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
22 Ils célébrèrent avec joie pendant sept jours la fête des pains sans levain, car l’Éternel les avait réjouis en disposant le roi d’Assyrie à les soutenir dans l’œuvre de la maison de Dieu, du Dieu d’Israël.
