1 Maccabees 3:47 Context
45Now Ierusalem lay voide as a wildernesse, there was none of her children that went in or out: the Sanctuarie also was troden downe, and aliens kept the strong holde: the heathen had their habitation in that place, and ioy was taken from Iacob, and the pipe with the harpe ceased. 46Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselues together, and came to Maspha ouer-against Ierusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel. 47Then they fasted that day, and put on sackecloth, and cast ashes vpon their heads, and rent their clothes: 48And laide open the booke of the Law, wherein þe heathen had sought to paint the likenesse of their images. 49They brought also the Priestes garments, and the first fruits, and the tithes, and the Nazarites they stirred vp, who had accomplished their dayes.
