2 Maccabees 8:25-27

Wycliffe Bible

²⁵ Forsooth when the riches [or the monies] of them, that came to (or for) the buying of them, were taken up, on each side they pursued them; but they (re)turned again, closed (al)together by an hour;

²⁶ for why it was before (the) sabbath, for which cause they lasted not (in) pursuing (them).

²⁷ Forsooth they gathered the armours of them, and (the) spoils, and did (the) sabbath, and blessed the Lord [or blessing the Lord], that delivered them in (or unto) this day, dropping into (or upon) them (the) beginning of mercy.
