2 Maccabees 2:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And when Jeremias came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.

⁶ Then some of them that followed him, came up to mark the place: but they could not find it.

⁷ And when Jeremias perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown, till God gather together the congregation of the people, and receive them to mercy.
