1 Maccabees 15:6 In-Context

4 I plan to invade the land and to attack those who have destroyed many of the towns and ruined the country.

5 "Now therefore, I confirm all exemptions from taxes and payments granted you by former kings.

6 I authorize you to mint your own coins as legal currency in your own country.

7 Jerusalem and the Temple shall be free of taxation. All the weapons that you have manufactured and the defenses you have built and now occupy shall remain yours.

8 In addition, all debts now owed to the royal treasury, or which may in the future fall due, are permanently canceled.
