1 Maccabees 13:38-40

New Catholic Bible

³⁸ All of our previous guarantees to you remain in force, and the strongholds that you have built shall remain in your possession. ³⁹ We pardon any errors or offenses committed up to now, and we remit the crown tax that you owe. Moreover, any other tax that formerly was collected in Jerusalem is hereby canceled. ⁴⁰ If any of you are qualified to be enrolled in our service, let them be enrolled. Let there be peace between us.”
