The Passover Celebrated

19 1And the descendants of the captivity kept the Passover aon the fourteenth day of the first month.  
20 For the priests and the Levites had apurified themselves; all of them were ritually clean. And they bslaughtered the Passover lambs for all the descendants of the captivity, for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.  
21 Then the children of Israel who had returned from the captivity ate together with all who had separated themselves from the afilth of the nations of the land in order to seek the Lord God of Israel.  
22 And they kept the aFeast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy; for the Lord made them joyful, and bturned the heart cof the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

Ezra 6:20

The Levites were purified together - They were all ready at one time to observe the proper rites and ceremonies, and had no need of having a second passover, which was appointed by the law for those who had been accidentally defiled, or were at a distance from the tabernacle. See II Chronicles 30:3.
