This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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 2Ch_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, Heb_7:27. That Popish expositor was utterly out when, from Exo_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.
