1 Maccabees 8:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ Judas Machabeus, and his brethren, and the people of the Jews have sent us to you, to make alliance and peace with you, and that we may be registered your confederates and friends.

²¹ And the proposal was pleasing in their sight.

²² And this is the copy of the writing that they wrote back again, graven in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that it might be with them there for a memorial of the peace and alliance.
