1 Maccabees 10:28-30

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁸ We will grant you many immunities and give you gifts.

²⁹ “I now free you and exempt all the Jews from payment of tribute and salt tax and crown levies, ³⁰ and instead of collecting the third of the grain and the half of the fruit of the trees that I should receive, I release them from this day and henceforth. I will not collect them from the land of Judah or from the three districts added to it from Samaria and Galilee, from this day and for all time.
