2 Maccabees 2:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁴ In the same way Judas also collected all the books that had been lost on account of the war that had come upon us, and they are in our possession. ¹⁵ So if you have need of them, send people to get them for you.

¹⁶ Since, therefore, we are about to celebrate the purification, we write to you. You will do well if you celebrate these days.^(A)
