1 Maccabees 10:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² I also relinquish my authority over the citadel in Jerusalem and transfer it to the high priest, so that he may station within it men of his own choosing to guard it. ³³ Every Jew carried off into captivity from the land of Judah into any part of my kingdom I set free without ransom, and all their taxes, even those on their livestock, are to be voided. ³⁴ Let all feast days, Sabbaths, new moon festivals, appointed days, and the three days that precede and the three days that follow a festival be days of exemption and release for all the Jews in my kingdom.
