"I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers."
Nel contesto
18Therefore come thou first, and obey the king’s commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons, shall be in the number of the king’s friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents.
19Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments:
20I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers.
21God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:
22We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice, and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way.
