Ezra 6:20 in Context — Ezra 6
18 E puseram aos sacerdotes em suas divisões, e aos levitas em seus grupos, para o serviço a Deus, que está em Jerusalém, conforme o que está escrito no livro de Moisés.
19 E os que vieram do cativeiro celebraram a páscoa aos catorze do mês primeiro.
20 Porque os sacerdotes e os levitas haviam se purificado juntos; todos foram limpos; e fizeram o sacrifício da páscoa por todos os que vieram do cativeiro, e por seus irmãos, os sacerdotes, e por si mesmos.
21 Assim os filhos de Israel que haviam voltado do cativeiro comeram, com todos os que tinham se separado da impureza das nações da terra, para buscarem ao SENHOR Deus de Israel.
22 E celebraram a festa dos pães sem fermento sete dias com alegria, porque o SENHOR os tinha alegrado, e convertido o coração do rei da Assíria a eles, para fortalecer suas mãos na obra da casa de Deus, o Deus de Israel.
