1 Maccabees 1:46 In-Context

44 For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that they should follow the strange laws of the land,

45 and forbid burnt offerings and sacrifice and drink offerings in the temple, and that they should profane the Sabbaths and festival days,

46 and pollute the sanctuary and holy people,

47 set up altars and cultic groves and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine's flesh and unclean beasts;

48 that they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation,
