2 Maccabees 1:34-36

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁴ And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened.

³⁵ And when he had proved it, he gave the priests many goods, and divers presents, and he took and distributed them to them with his own hand.

³⁶ And Nehemias called this place Nephthar, which is interpreted purification. But many call it Nephi.
