1 Maccabees 10:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ Jerusalem and its surroundings, its tithes and its revenues, shall be sacred and free from tax. ³² I also relinquish my authority over the citadel in Jerusalem and transfer it to the high priest, so that he may station within it men of his own choosing to guard it. ³³ Every Jew carried off into captivity from the land of Judah into any part of my kingdom I set free without ransom, and all their taxes, even those on their livestock, are to be voided.
