2 Maccabees 15:37LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 37 of 40
"But to celebrate the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, called, in the Syrian language, the day before Mardochias’ day."
In context
35And he hung up Nicanor’s head in the top of the castle, that it might be an evident and manifest sign of the help of God.
36And they all ordained by a common decree, by no means to let this day pass without solemnity:
37But to celebrate the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, called, in the Syrian language, the day before Mardochias’ day.
38So these things being done with relation to Nicanor, and from that time the city being possessed by the Hebrews, I also will here make an end of my narration.
39Which if I have done well, and as it becometh the history, it is what I desired: but if not so perfectly, it must be pardoned me.
