2 Maccabees 11:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² Forsooth the epistle of the king contained these things. King Antiochus to Lysias, brother, health.

²³ For our father is translated among (the) gods, we will (or we desire) that they that be in our realm do without noise, and give diligence to their things;

²⁴ we have heard that (the) Jews assented not to the father (or to our father), to be translated (or transferred over) to the custom of (the) Greeks, but will (or desire) [for to] hold their (own) ordinance, and that therefore they ask of us, that their lawful things be granted to them.
