1 Maccabees 6:58-60

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵⁸ Now therefore let us come to an agreement with these men, and make peace with them and with all their nation.

⁵⁹ And let us covenant with them, that they may live according to their own laws as before. For because of our despising their laws, they have been provoked, and have done all these things.

⁶⁰ And the proposal was acceptable in the sight of the king, and of the princes: and he sent to them to make peace: and they accepted of it.
