Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 31 of 89

"And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself."
1 Maccabees 10:31

In context

29And now I free you, and all the Jews from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed:

30And 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:

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

32I 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.

33And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.
