2 Maccabees 10:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

10 But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again.

² But he threw down the altars, which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols.

³ And having purified the temple, they made another altar: and taking fire out of the fiery stones, they offered sacrifices after two years, and set forth incense, and lamps, and the loaves of proposition.
