1 Maccabees 4:54-56

Common English Bible

⁵⁴ In the very season, on the exact day that the Gentiles had polluted it, it was dedicated with songs, harps, lutes, and cymbals. ⁵⁵ All the people bowed to the ground and worshipped and blessed heaven, which had given them success.

⁵⁶ So they celebrated the rededication of the altar for eight days and joyfully made entirely burned offerings. They offered a sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
