Ezra 6:20
"For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

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, Ch2 29:34 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, Exo 12:6 , as Bochart (n) thinks. (n) Hierozoic. par. 1. l. 2. c. 50. col. 576.
