1 Maccabees 1:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And after Antiochus had ravaged Egypt in the hundred and forty-third year, he returned and went up against Israel.

²² And he went up to Jerusalem with a great multitude.

²³ And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces.
