2 Maccabees 10:8 In-Context

6 And they kept the eight days with gladness, as in the Feast of the Tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had held the Feast of the Tabernacles, when they wandered in the mountains and dens like beasts.

7 Therefore they bore branches and fair boughs and palms also, and sang psalms unto Him that had given them good success in cleansing His place.

8 They ordained also by a common statute and decree that every year those days should be kept by the whole nation of the Jews.

9 And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes.

10 Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.
