1 Maccabees 10:30-32

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁰ And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:

³¹ And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself.

³² I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose to keep it.
