3 Maccabees 3:28

28 But the one who is willing to give information will receive the property of the person falling under judgment. They will also be given two thousand drachmen from the royal treasury, and will be rewarded with their freedom.

3 Maccabees 3:28 In-Context

26 We are sure that, when these people have all been punished, the affairs of our state will be established more securely and in a more excellent condition for the future.

27 But whoever shelters any of the Jews, from an elderly person to a child to nursing infants, will be tortured, household and all, with the most horrible punishments.

28 But the one who is willing to give information will receive the property of the person falling under judgment. They will also be given two thousand drachmen from the royal treasury, and will be rewarded with their freedom.

29 But every place, without exception, where a Jew is discovered to be sheltered, will be laid waste and burned with fire. It will become utterly useless to every living creature for all time.

30 And so the form of the letter was committed to writing.
