1 Maccabees 2:26-28

Wycliffe Bible

²⁶ And he loved fervently the law, as Phinehas did to Zimri, son of Salu.

²⁷ And Mattathias cried with (a) great (or with a loud) voice in the city, and said, Each man that hath fervent love of (or for) the law, ordain a testament, that is, a covenant, and go he out after me.

²⁸ And he flew (or fled), and his sons, into (the) mountains, and left whatever things they had in the city.
