2 Maccabees 11:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰ So then, those of you who return home by the thirtieth of the month of Xanthicus may rest assured that you have nothing to fear. ³¹ You may continue to observe your food laws and other laws, as you used to do, and no Jew will be punished for any crime done in ignorance. ³² I am sending Menelaus to set your minds at ease.
