1 Maccabees 1:61

61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew those who had circumcised them.

1 Maccabees 1:61 In-Context

59 Now the five and twentieth day of the month they sacrificed upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God,

60 at which time, according to the commandment, they put to death certain women that had caused their children to be circumcised.

61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew those who had circumcised them.

62 However that be, many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing.

63 Therefore they chose rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats and that they might not profane the holy covenant; so then they died.
