2 Maccabees 11:24-26

Wycliffe Bible

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.

²⁵ Therefore we will (or we desire) that also this folk be quiet, and have ordained and deemed, that the temple be restored to them, (so) that they should do by [or after] the custom of their greater men.

²⁶ Therefore thou shalt do well, if thou shalt send to them, and shalt give (to them) (the) right hand; (so) that, when our will (or our desire) is known, they be in (or of) good comfort, and serve to their own profits.
