1 Maccabees 1:60-62

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶⁰ And every one with whom the books of the testament of the Lord were found, and whosoever observed the law of the Lord, they put to death, according to the edict of the king.

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.
