波斯王塞魯士元年，耶和華為要應驗祂藉耶利米所說的話，就感動波斯王塞魯士，使他下詔通告全國：

耶和華掌管君王的心，易如支配壟溝的流水。

你們要把舊酵除掉，好成為真正無酵的新麵團，因為我們逾越節的羔羊——基督已經被獻為祭了。所以，我們不可帶著歹毒邪惡的舊酵守這逾越節，而要用真誠純潔的無酵餅。

以斯拉說：「我們祖先的上帝耶和華當受讚美！因為祂使王有這樣的心意尊崇耶路撒冷耶和華的殿。

在耶路撒冷的以色列人非常喜樂地守除酵節七天。利未人和祭司用響亮的樂器天天頌讚耶和華。

所有在場的以色列人都在那時守逾越節，又守除酵節七天。

於是，大流士王降旨：「河西總督達乃、示他·波斯乃，以及你們的同僚——河西的官員，要遠離那殿！不要干涉上帝殿的建造，要讓猶太人的省長和長老在原址上重建這座上帝的殿。另外，我降旨命你們幫助猶太人的長老建造上帝的殿，要立刻從河西的王室稅收中撥出款項作建殿之用，以免耽誤工程。他們向天上的上帝獻燔祭時所需的公牛犢、公綿羊、綿羊羔、小麥、鹽、酒和油，都要照耶路撒冷祭司的話天天供給他們，不得有誤，好讓他們向天上的上帝獻上蒙悅納的祭物，並為王和眾王子求壽。我再降旨，若有人更改這諭旨，必從他的房屋抽掉一根大樑，把他釘在樑上掛起來，他的房屋也要淪為糞堆。無論君王還是百姓，若有人擅自更改這命令或毀壞耶路撒冷的這殿，願揀選這殿作其居所的上帝毀滅他！我大流士降此諭旨，務要速速遵行。」

在節期的七天之內，你們只可以吃無酵餅，到了第七天，你們要為耶和華守節期。七天之內要吃無酵餅，你們境內不得有酵或是帶酵的東西。

「七天之內你們都要吃無酵餅。第一天，要清除家中所有的酵。任何人若在這七天當中吃有酵的餅，要將他從以色列人中剷除。在節期的第一天和第七天，你們都要招聚百姓舉行聖會。這兩天所有人都不得工作，除了預備各人要吃的以外，不可做任何工。你們要守這無酵節，因為我在這天把你們大隊人馬從埃及領了出來。你們要守這節期，作為世世代代永遠的定例。從一月十四日晚上開始，直到二十一日晚上，你們都要吃無酵餅。在這七天內，你們屋裡不能有酵。任何人若吃了有酵的東西，不論他是寄居者還是本地人，要將他從以色列會眾中剷除。無論你們住在哪裡都要吃無酵餅，不能吃有酵的食物。」

我必從埃及領他們回到故土，從亞述招聚他們，領他們到基列和黎巴嫩，那裡將不夠他們居住。祂必經過苦海，擊打海浪，尼羅河必乾涸，亞述的驕傲必掃地，埃及的勢力必滅沒。

除酵節的第一天，門徒來問耶穌說：「我們該在什麼地方為你準備逾越節的晚餐呢？」

人所行的若蒙耶和華喜悅，耶和華必使仇敵與他和好。

耶穌回答說：「除非從上面賜下權柄給你，否則你無權處置我。因此，把我交給你的那個人罪更大。」

約西亞執政期間，埃及王尼哥前往幼發拉底河援助亞述王，約西亞出兵迎戰尼哥，在米吉多被殺。

所以，耶和華就差遣亞述王的將領來攻擊他們，他們捉住瑪拿西，用鉤子鉤著他，用銅鏈鎖著他押往巴比倫。
