⁶¹ Thus by their power did they deal with the people of Israel, that were found in the cities month after month.

⁶² And on the five and twentieth day of the month they sacrificed upon the altar of the idol that was over against the altar of God.

⁶³ Now the women that circumcised their children, were slain according to the commandment of king Antiochus.
