2. What does this ceremonial purification for sin symbolize? See the verses below.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the L ord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Hebrews 9:14 How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
3. In Ezra 6:20–21 the Passover lamb is slaughtered and eaten. What were the requirements for choosing the Passover lamb? Who is the Passover Lamb in the New Testament? (See also Ex. 12:3–6; 1 Cor. 5:7; Pet. 1:18; and Rev. 5:6.)
4. How is Ezra 6:22 a fitting conclusion?
