1 Maccabees 10:30-32

New Catholic Bible

³⁰ From this day henceforth, I also renounce the third of the grain harvest and the half of the fruit harvest to which I am entitled. From this day and for all time I will not collect them from the land of Judah or from the three districts annexed to it from Samaria. ³¹ Jerusalem and its surroundings, its tithes and its revenues, shall be sacred and free from tax. ³² I also relinquish my authority over the citadel in Jerusalem and transfer it to the high priest, so that he may station within it men of his own choosing to guard it.
