Esdras 6:20

Listen to Esdras 6:20
20 Pois os sacerdotes e levitas se tinham purificado como se fossem um só homem; todos estavam limpos. E imolaram o cordeiro da páscoa para todos os filhos do cativeiro, e para seus irmãos, os sacerdotes, e para si mesmos.

Esdras 6:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 6:20

For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of
them were pure
They were all to a man pure, and all purified as one man; all were of one mind to purify themselves, and took care to do it, and did it with as much dispatch as if only one man was purified; so that they were more generally prepared for service now than in the times of Hezekiah, ( 2 Chronicles 29:34 ) ( 30:3 )

and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity,
and for their brethren the priests and for themselves;
which seems to have been done by the Levites, for themselves and for the priests, and for all the people, who were not so pure as the priests and Levites; or otherwise they might have killed it themselves, ( Exodus 12:6 ) , as Bochart F14 thinks.

Esdras 6:20 In-Context

18 E puseram os sacerdotes nas suas divisões e os levitas nas suas turmas, para o serviço de Deus em Jerusalém, conforme o que está escrito no livro de Moisés.
19 E os que vieram do cativeiro celebraram a páscoa no dia catorze do primeiro mês.
20 Pois os sacerdotes e levitas se tinham purificado como se fossem um só homem; todos estavam limpos. E imolaram o cordeiro da páscoa para todos os filhos do cativeiro, e para seus irmãos, os sacerdotes, e para si mesmos.
21 Assim comeram a páscoa os filhos de Israel que tinham voltado do cativeiro, com todos os que, unindo-se a eles, se apartaram da imundícia das nações da terra para buscarem o Senhor, Deus de Israel;
22 e celebraram a festa dos pães ázimos por sete dias com alegria; porque o Senhor os tinha alegrado, tendo mudado o coração do rei da Assíria a favor deles, para lhes fortalecer as mãos na obra da casa de Deus, o Deus de Israel.
