1 Maccabees 1:64 In-Context

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.

64 And there was very great wrath upon Israel.
