1 Maccabees 10:29-31
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
29 (A)“I now free you and exempt all the Jews from the tribute, the salt tax, and the crown levies. 30 Instead of collecting the third of the grain and the half of the fruit of the trees that should be my share, I renounce the right from this day forward. Neither now nor in the future will I collect them from the land of Judah or from the three districts annexed from Samaria.[a] 31 Let Jerusalem and her territory, her tithes and her tolls, be sacred and free from tax.
