Ezra 6:20

Ezr 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.

Ver. 20. Were purified together ] Misery had framed them to unanimity. See 2 Chronicles 29:34 .

All of them were pure ] Ritually at least, if not really.

And killed the passover ] i.e. The paschal lamb, whereof see Exo 12:1-51 with the notes.

For all the children ] See Trapp on " Ezr 6:1 "

And for themselves ] For they also were sinners, and needed a Saviour, Hebrews 7:27 . That Popish expositor was utterly out when, from Exodus 30:31-32 , he will needs infer that priests, when once anointed with the holy oil, were thenceforth angels, spirits, not having human flesh, or infirmities.
