1 Maccabees 11:34-36

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁴ We have ratified therefore unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees.

³⁵ And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from this time we discharge them of them: the saltpans also, and the crowns that were presented to us.

³⁶ We give all to them, and nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth and for ever.
