1 Maccabees 1:44-46

Wycliffe Bible

⁴⁴ And king Antiochus sent books by the hands of messengers into Jerusalem, and into all cities of Judea, that they should (pur)sue (or follow) (the) laws of (the) folks of (the) earth,

⁴⁵ and should forbid burnt sacrifices, and sacrifices, and pleasings for to be done in the temple of God, and that they should forbid the sabbath for to be hallowed, and solemn days,

⁴⁶ and holy things for to be defouled (or that they should defile the Temple), and the holy people of Israel.
