1 Maccabees 14:44

44 also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple or wear a buckle of gold;

1 Maccabees 14:44 In-Context

42 moreover that he should be their captain and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works and over the country, and over the weapons and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary;

43 besides this, that he should be obeyed by every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple and wear gold;

44 also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple or wear a buckle of gold;

45 and whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of these things, he should be punished.

46 Thus it pleased all the people to deal with Simon and to do as hath been said.
