9
The priests also and the Levites stood arrayed in their vestments, according to their kindreds, in the service of the Lord God of Israel according to the Book of Moses, and the doorkeepers at every gate.
10
And the children of Israel who were of the captivity held the Passover the fourteenth day of the first month, after the priests and the Levites were sanctified.
11
Those who were of the captivity were not all sanctified together, but the Levites were all sanctified together.
12
And so they offered the Passover for all those of the captivity and for their brethren the priests and for themselves.
13
And the children of Israel who came out of the captivity ate, even all those who had separated themselves from the abominations of the people of the land and sought the Lord.
