Commentary on Ezra 6:20
The purification statement—'For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure'—emphasizes ritual cleanness prerequisite for Passover service. The phrase 'all of them' stresses comprehensive purity—no half-measures or compromise. Their collective purification ('together') demonstrates community commitment to holiness. The Levites' slaughtering Passover lambs 'for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves' shows comprehensive provision for covenant community.
