2 Maccabees 12:29-31

Wycliffe Bible

²⁹ From thence they went to the city of Scythes (or Scythopolis), which was far from Jerusalem (by) six hundred furlongs.

³⁰ Forsooth for these Jews that were with (the) Scythopolitans witnessed, that they were had of them benignly, yea, in times of adversity, and that they did mildly with them,

³¹ they did thankings to them; and also stirred from henceforth for to be benign against (or towards) their kin, and came to Jerusalem, when the solemn day of weeks nighed, [or the solemn day of weeks nighing], (or the Feast of Weeks approaching).
