1 Maccabees 5:40-42

Wycliffe Bible

⁴⁰ And Timothy (or Timotheus) said to the princes of his host, When Judas nigheth (or approacheth), and his host, to the stream of water, if he passeth former (or over first) to us, we shall not be able to abide him, for he mighty shall be able to be against us.

⁴¹ Soothly if he dreadeth for to pass (over), and setteth (up his) tents beyond the flood (or on the other side of the river), pass we over to them, and we shall be able to be against him.

⁴² Forsooth as Judas nighed (or approached) to the stream of water, he ordained (the) scribes, either writers, of the people, beside the stream, and commanded to them, and said, [or saying], Leave ye none of (the) men, but come all (or let all come) into (the) battle.
