1 Maccabees 1:61 Context
59Now the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth, they did sacrifice vpon the idole altar, which was vpon the Altar of God. 60At which time, according to the commandement, they put to death certaine women that had caused their children to be circumcised. 61And they hanged the infants about their neckes, and rifled their houses, and slewe them that had circumcised them. 62Howbeit, many in Israel were fully resolued and confirmed in themselues, not to eate any vncleane thing. 63Wherfore they chose rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy Couenant: So then they died.
