|
| 10 | From them came forth a sinful root, Antiochus Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king; he had been a hostage in Rome. He began to reign in the one hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks. | Antiochus IV Epiphanes & the renegade Jews. (176-175 BCE) 1Mace.1.10-15 (Jerusalem) | 2Mace.4.7-17 | |
|
| 11 | In those days lawless men came forth from Israel, and misled many, saying, "Let us go and make a covenant with the Gentiles round about us, for since we separated from them many evils have come upon us." | | |
|
| 12 | This proposal pleased them, | | |
|
| 13 | and some of the people eagerly went to the king. He authorized them to observe the ordinances of the Gentiles. | | |
|
| 14 | So they built a gymnasium in Jerusalem, according to Gentile custom, | | |
|
| 15 | and removed the marks of circumcision, and abandoned the holy covenant. They joined with the Gentiles and sold themselves to do evil. | | |
