1 Maccabees 13:28-30

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁸ He also erected seven pyramids, opposite one another, for his father and mother and four brothers. ²⁹ And for the pyramids^[a] he devised an elaborate setting, erecting about them great columns, and upon the columns he put suits of armor for a permanent memorial, and beside the suits of armor carved ships, so that they could be seen by all who sail the sea. ³⁰ This is the tomb which he built in Mo′de-in; it remains to this day.
