¹⁹Then Mattathias answered, and spake with a loude voice, Though all the nations that are vnder the kings dominion obey him, and fall away euery one from the religion of their fathers, and giue consent to his commandements: ²⁰Yet will I, and my sonnes, and my brethren walke in the couenant of our fathers. ²¹God forbid that we should forsake the Law, and the ordinances: ²²We will not hearken to the kings words, to goe from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left. ²³Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Iewes in the sight of all, to sacrifice on the altar, which was at Modin, according to the kings commandement.
