1 Maccabees 10:29 In-Context

27 And now continue still to keep faith with us, and we will repay you with good for what you do for us.

28 We will grant you many immunities and give you gifts.

29 "And now I free you and exempt all the Jews from payment of tribute and salt tax and crown levies,

30 and instead of collecting the third of the grain and the half of the fruit of the trees that I should receive, I release them from this day and henceforth. I will not collect them from the land of Judah or from the three districts added to it from Samaria and Galilee, from this day and for all time.

31 And let Jerusalem and her environs, her tithes and her revenues, be holy and free from tax.
