The Passover Is Celebrated

¹⁹ The exiles celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. ²⁰ Because the priests and the Levites together had purified themselves, all of them were ceremonially pure. The Levites slaughtered the Passover for all of the exiles, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
