2 Maccabees 2:3

Listen to 2 Maccabees 2:3

2 Maccabees 2:3 In-Context

1 One finds in the records that the prophet Jeremiah commanded those who were deported to take some of the fire, which is the story I've just related.
2 Having given them the Law, the prophet commanded those who were deported not to forget the Lord's commands or to be led astray in their thoughts when they saw gold and silver idols and how they were decorated.
3 With these kinds of words, he urged them not to forget the Law.
4 The same document also states that the prophet commanded, with a solemn divine pronouncement, that the meeting tent and the chest containing the covenant should go with him. The documents reported that he went to the mountain that Moses ascended to see the inheritance that God promised.
5 When Jeremiah arrived, he discovered a cave where he deposited the meeting tent, the covenant chest, and the incense altar. He blocked up the opening.
