1 Maccabees 10:31-33

Common English Bible

³¹ Jerusalem and its surroundings, its tenth-part gifts and its revenues, will be holy and free from tax.

³² I will also give up my control of the elevated fortress in Jerusalem and give it to the high priest. He may station people of his own choice to guard it. ³³ I set free, without payment, all of the Jews who have been taken captive from Judah into any part of my kingdom. Furthermore, let all officials also cancel taxes on their livestock.
