2 Maccabees 2:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And how he gave them the law that they should not forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, seeing the idols of gold, and silver, and the ornaments of them.

³ And with other such like speeches, he exhorted them that they would not remove the law from their heart.

⁴ It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God.
