1 Maccabees 10:32

32 And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up my authority over it and give it to the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.

1 Maccabees 10:32 In-Context

30 and from that which appertaineth unto me to receive a third part of the seed and half of the fruit of the trees. I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken from the land of Judea, nor from the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.

31 Let Jerusalem also be holy and free, with the territories thereof, both from tithes and tribute.

32 And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up my authority over it and give it to the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.

33 Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews who were carried captive out of the land of Judea into any part of my kingdom, and I will that all my officers remit the tribute even on their cattle.

34 Furthermore, I will that all the feasts and Sabbaths and new moons and solemn days, and the three days before the feast and the three days after the feast, shall all be days of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my realm.
