57They deckt also the forefront of the temple with crownes of gold; and with shields, and the gates, and the chambers they renewed and hanged doores vpon them. 58Thus was there very great gladnesse among the people, for that the reproch of the heathen was put away. 59Moreouer Iudas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained that the daies of the dedication of the altar, should be kept in their season from yeere to yeere by the space of eight dayes, from the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth Casleu, with mirth and gladnesse. 60At that time also they builded vp the mount Sion with high walles, and strong towres round about, lest the Gentiles should come & tread it downe, as they had done before. 61And they set there a garison to keepe it: and fortified Bethsura to preserue it, that the people might haue a defence against Idumea.
