+        "(Depuis Alexandre le Grand, aucun aussi grand roi ne s'était levé sur le pourtour méditerranéen.)",
+        "Il bâtit une grande ville sur la rive d'un fleuve comme capitale, et l'appela Antioche, selon son nom.",
+        "Et Bagris, son vice-roi, construisit également une grande ville et l'appela Bagris d'après son nom; ces noms sont encore ainsi de nos jours.",
+        "La vingt-troisième année de son règne, qui est la deux cent treizième année de l'érection du sanctuaire, son esprit se tourna vers Jérusalem.",
+        "Et il parla à ses officiers, en disant: \"Vous savez sûrement qu'il y a un peuple juif à Jérusalem dans nos territoires.",
+        "Ils ne sacrifient pas à nos dieux, ils ne respectent pas nos lois, et ils négligent les lois du roi en suivent les leurs.",
+        "Et de plus, ils attendent avec impatience un jour ou les rois des nations seront détruits et avec eux leurs dirigeants, car ils disent: \"Notre roi régnera sur nous; et nous gouvernerons terre et mer, et le monde entier sera sous notre domination.\" Il n'est pas honorable que leur règne leur permette de vivre sur la surface de la terre.",
+        "A présent venez, montons contre eux et détruisons l'alliance que leur Dieu a conclue avec eux, leurs chabbats, leurs fêtes et leurs circoncisions.\"",
+        "Et cela trouva grâce aux yeux de toute son armée.",
+        "Ainsi, le roi Antiochus se leva et envoya son général Nicanor avec une armée nombreuse et un grand peuple, et ils se rendirent dans la capitale de Judée: Jérusalem.",
+        "Il tua beaucoup de personnes et bâtit un autel dans le temple, à l'endroit où le Dieu d'Israël a parlé à ses serviteurs les prophètes en disant: \"Là, je ferai résider ma présence pour toujours.\" En ce lieu, il sacrifia un porc et en versa le sang dans la chambre sainte.",
+        "De ce fait, quand Yohanan fils de Matithyah, le grand prêtre entendit parler de cet acte, il se trouva empli de fureur, les lueurs se dissipèrent de son visage et il se demanda que faire.",
+        "Alors Yohanan fils de Matithyah se fit un épée de deux zeratot de longueur et d'une de largeur qu'il cacha ses vêtements.",
+        "Il alla à Jérusalem et se plaça devant la porte d'entrée du temple. Il appela les gardes et dit : \"Je suis Yohanan fils de Matithyah, et je suis venu voir Nicanor.\"",
+        "Alors les gardes sont venus vers Nicanor et ont dit: \"Le grand prêtre des Juifs t'attend devant la porte\". Nicanor répondit: \"Laissez-le entrer\". C'est alors que Yohanan a été amené en présence de Nicanor. Nicanor demanda à Yohanan: \"Ne serais tu pas l'un des rebelles qui se révolte contre le roi et ne cherche pas la paix de son royaume?\"",
+        "Yohanan face a Nicanor répondit: \"Mon seigneur, je suis la maintenant, face a vous et je ferais ce que vous voudrez\".",
+        "Et Nicanor répondit et dit à Yohanan: \"Si tu veux faire mon désir, prends un porc et tue-le sur l'autel. Tu t'habilleras de vêtements royaux et monteras sur le cheval du roi, comme un être aimé du roi tu seras.\"",
+        "Quand Yohanan entendit cela, il répondit: \"Mon seigneur, j'ai peur des enfants d'Israël, s'ils entendent parler de mon acte, ils me lapideront avec des pierres.",
+        "Agit pour que tout le monde parte ici, de sorte que personne ne sache\". Alors Nicanor demanda à tous les hommes de sortir.",
+        "Aussitôt, Yohanan fils de Matithyah leva les yeux au ciel et récita une prière devant Dieu et dit: \"Mon Dieu, Dieu de mes pères Avraham, Itshrak et Yaacov, ",
+        "Ne me livre pas dans les mains de ces païens, car s'ils me tuaient ils se rendraient dans le temple de Dagon leur dieu et diraient \"mon dieu tu me l'as livré dans mes mains!\" À ce moment là, il s’avança et plongea son épée dans le cœur de Nicanor, puis jeta son corps dans la cours du temple, ",
+        "Face au Dieu du Ciel. Alors Yohanan parla et dit: \"Mon Dieu, ne me comptes pas ce péché ou j'ai tué un homme dans ton sanctuaire. Mais fais de même à tous ceux qui sont venu avec lui pour opprimer la Judée et Jérusalem\".",
+        "Alors, Yohanan fils de Matithyah sorti ce jour et combattit ce peuple, il en tua un grand nombre.",
+        "On raconte que le nombre de personnes qui mourût ce jour fut de sept milles, car ils s'entretuaient les uns les autres.",
+        "Lorsqu'il revint de son combat il bâtit une stèle en son nom qu'il appela \"Maccabi, tueur des puissants\"",
+        "Lorsque le roi Antiochus appris que son général Nicanor avait été assassiné, il en fut très atteint. Il envoya alors Bagris, l'impie, qui avait souillé d'égarement son peuple.",
+        "Antiochus alla vers Bagris et lui dit \"tu dois savoir de ce que tu as entendu ce que les enfants d'Israël m'ont fait, ils ont tué mon général et détruits mes campements et mes officiers.",
+        "Peuvent-ils maintenant faire confiance à leur richesse ou considérer leur maison comme la leur? Viens, montons contre eux et détruisons l'alliance que leur dieu a conclue avec eux par le biais du Chabbat, de leurs fêtes et de la circoncision.\"",
+        "Alors, Bagris l'impie arriva à Jérusalem et tua parmi eux une grande partie.",
+        "Il décréta un décret très sévère interdisant de faire Chabbat, de célébrer les fêtes et de circoncire.",
+        "Le décret fut publié très rapidement si bien qu'on trouva un homme circoncisant son fils. L'homme et la femme furent amenés et pendus, devant l'enfant.",
+        "Aussi il y eu une femme qui eu un fils après la mort de son mari et elle le circoncis quand il eut huit jours. Puis elle monta sur le mur de Jérusalem, portant son fils circoncis dans les mains.",
+        "Elle cria et dit: \"A toi, Bagris, l'impie a qui l'on dit que tu envisages d'annuler l’alliance qui a été conclue avec nous, celle de nos ancêtres, que ce sois le Chabbat, les fêtes ou la circoncision, nous n'abandonnerons rien, ni nous, ni les enfants de nos enfants\". Elle jeta son fils à terre, sauta après lui et tous deux moururent ensemble. Beaucoup d'enfants d'Israël firent ainsi à cette époque plutôt que de violer l'alliance de leurs pères.",
+        "En ce temps là, les enfants d'Israël se dirent: \"Venez et cachons nous dans une grotte, ainsi nous n'aurons pas à profaner le Chabbat\". Mais leur plan fut répété à Bagris.",
+        "Alors, Bagris l'impie envoya des hommes armés pour se tenir devant la grotte et pour dire \"Sortez, venez avec nous les juifs, mangez de notre pain et buvez de notre vin et faites comme nous!\"",
+        "Les enfants d'Israël se parlèrent les uns et les autres et se dirent \"nous nous souvenons de ce que Dieu nous a ordonné au Mont Sinaï : Six jours tu travailleras et le septième jour tu te reposeras. Il est préférable pour nous de mourir dans cette caverne que de profaner le Chabbat.",
+        "Ainsi, les juifs ne voulant pas sortir de cette grotte, les hommes de Bagris amenèrent du bois qu'ils brûlèrent a l'entrée de la grotte, tuant un millier d'hommes et de femmes.",
+        "Après cela, sortirent les cinq fils de Matithyah, Yohanan et ses quatre frères; ils combattirent ce peuple et en tuèrent beaucoup, ",
+        "Et les expulsèrent vers une île lointaine car ils faisaient confiance au Dieu du Ciel.",
+        "Alors Bagris, partit en bateau jusqu'à Antioche, chez le roi, avec les hommes qui avaient échappé à l'épée.",
+        "Bagris parla et dit au roi Antiochus, Ô Roi, tu as demandé que l'on force les juifs à ignorer leurs Chabbat, leurs fêtes et leurs circoncision, mais il y eu une rébellion et ils nous on contrattaqué. De sorte qu'aucun peuple ni aucune langue de peut gagner face aux cinq fils de Matithyah: ils sont plus fort que les lions, plus rapide que les aigles et plus féroce que les ours!",
+        "Maintenant, ô Roi, si j'ai reçu tes faveurs, va les combattre avec des hommes afin qu'ils soient humiliés devant les autres royaumes.",
+        "Ainsi, écrit et envoie des courriers dans toutes les contrées de ton royaume, que des commandants viennent avec leurs armées sans laisser personne à l'arrière, ainsi que des éléphants recouverts d'armure. ",
+        "Ces paroles furent plaisantes aux yeux du roi Antiochus, il envoya des courriers dans toutes les contrées de son royaume, que viennent des commandants avec leurs armées et des éléphants recouverts d'armure.",
+        "Pour la seconde fois, Bagris l'impie partit en campagne contre Jérusalem. Il fit une brèche dans la muraille et se fit une entrée. Puis il fait treize brèches dans le Temple ce qui fit ébouler les pierres qui tombèrent comme de la poussière.",
+        "Il pensa dans son cœur et se dit \"cette fois ci, ils ne me vaincront pas car mon armée est nombreuse et la force est dans ma main.\" Mais le Dieu du Ciel avait prévu autre chose.",
+        "Quand les cinq fils de Matithyah entendirent cela, ils se levèrent et allèrent à Mitspé Gilehad, la ou la maison d'Israël avait gagné une victoire du temps du prophète Chmouel.",
+        "Ils décrétèrent de jeuner, de s'assoir sur de la cendre et prièrent la miséricorde du Dieu du Ciel.",
+        "Alors, vient dans leurs esprits un plan judicieux, à Yehouda l'ainée, Chimone le second, Yohanan le troisième, Yonathan le quatrième et Eléazar le cinquième.",
+        "Leur père les bénit et dit: \"Yehouda, mon fils, tu es comme Yehouda, fils de Yaacov qui a été comparé à un lion.",
+        "Chimone, mon fils, tu es comme Chimone fils de Yaacov, qui a tué les habitants de la ville de Chekhem.",
+        "Yohanan, mon fils, tu es comme Avner fils de Ner, qui était le grand général des armées d'Israël.",
+        "Yonathan mon fils, tu es comme Yonathan fils de Shaoul, qui tua le peuple philistins.",
+        "Eléazar, mon fils, tu es comme Pinhas fils d'Eléazar qui eu du zèle pour Dieu et qui délivra les enfants d'Israël.\"",
+        "Sur ce, les cinq fils de Matithyah sortirent ce jour et combattirent ce peuple, en en tuant beaucoup; tandis qu'eux tuèrent Yehouda.",
+        "Lorsque les fils de Matithyah virent que Yehouda avait été tué, ils retournèrent vers leur père.",
+        "Il leurs dit \"pourquoi êtes vous revenu?\" Ils répondirent: \"car notre frère a été tué et nous le considérons comme nous.\"",
+        "Matithyah leur père leur dit: \"je vais sortir avec vous et combattre ce peuple, de peur que la maison d'Israël ne tombe car vous êtes trop touché par la mort de votre frère\".",
+        "Matithyah sortit ce jour avec ses fils et combattit ce peuple.",
+        "Et le Dieu du Ciel lui donna toute la force des peuples dans sa main, il en tua un grand nombre, que ce sois les fantassins ou les archers, les commandants comme les officiers, il n'en resta plus; les autres s'enfuirent dans leurs pays par la mer.",
+        "Et Eléazar, qui avait cherché à tuer un des éléphants, fut piétiné par l'un d'eux et s'enfonça dans des excréments.",
+        "Lorsqu'ils cherchèrent parmi les survivants et parmi les morts ils ne le trouvèrent pas jusqu'à qu'ils le trouvent dans des excréments d'éléphant.",
+        "Les enfants d'Israël célébrèrent le fait que leurs ennemis avaient fini entre leurs mains; ils tuèrent certains par le feu, d'autres par l'épée et d'autres par la potence.",
+        "Pour Bagris, l'impie qui avait perverti son peuple, la maison d'Israël le brula.",
+        "Alors, lorsque le roi Antiochus entendit que Bagris l'impie ainsi que toute son armée avait été tué, il s'enfuya en bateau jusqu'une province, et il arriva que partout ou il allait on se révoltait contre lui et on l'appelait \"le lâche\".",
+        "Apres cela, les enfants hasmonéens vinrent au temple; ils rebâtirent les portes, restaurèrent les brèches et nettoyèrent et purifièrent la cour du temple de tous les morts et de toutes impuretés.",
+        "Ils cherchèrent de l'huile d'olive concassé pure pour allumer la menora mais n'en trouvèrent pas si ce n'est une fiole qui était scellé par le sceau du grand prêtre, ils surent alors qu'elle était pure. Cependant elle ne contenait que la valeur d'un jour d'allumage.",
+        "Mais le Dieu du Ciel qui fait que son nom réside donna une bénédiction et ils purent allumer pendant huit jours.",
+        "Suite a cela, les fils des Hasmonéens se décidèrent et les fils d'Israël avec eux, ne faisant plus qu'un, ",

+    "versionNotes": "<p align=\"left\">El origen de la festividad de Janucá (lit. innaguración) se remonta a la historia de la victoria militar de los Jashmoneos-Macabeos contra los helenos-selecuidas en la tierra de Israel en el año 164 a.e.c. Los relatos sobre este acontecimiento historico que dará comienzó al último periodo de soberanía e independencia judía en Judea hasta la creación del Estado de Israel en 1948 provienen de los libros Macabeos I y II y de los escritos del historiador Flavio Josefo.  En la literatura rabínica clásica hay una única mención breve y tardía sobre esta historia (Talmud Babilónico, Shabbat 21a). Los libros de los Macabeos no ingresaron en el Tanaj (canon bíblico judío) y por dicho motivo no existía una lectura apropiada para leer durante los días de Janucá o durante el Shabbat de Janucá, a diferencia, por ejemplo de lo que ocurre con Purim, festividad en la cual leemos Meguilat Ester (el rollo de Ester).</p> <p align=\"left\">Es por este motivo que en la edad media comienza a circular en diversas versiones y principalmente en arameo un texto conocido como “Meguilat Bnei Jashmonai” (el rollo de los hijos de los Jashmoneos) o también más popularizado como “Meguilat Antiojus” (el rollo de Antíoco)” . Este texto es una creación literaria tardía. Los autores clásicos y los acádemicos modernos disienten sobre el origen exacto del texto situandolo desde el siglo II a.e.c hasta el siglo IX d.e.c . Su original, en arameo, fue traducido a varias lenguas durante la edad media y la modernidad. La versión actual en hebreo es una traducción literal del arameo que data del siglo XVI, con algunas correcciones posteriores, como aparece en varios Sidurim (libros de rezo).</p> <p align=\"left\">Meguilat Beit Jashmonai no es un texto histórico sino que entra en la categoría de un Midrash historiografico. El autor de este relato, el cual no se ajusta a la historicidad de los hechos, creó la presente obra mezclando información que seguramente conocía de los libros Macabeos I y II, aunque estos no ingresaran al canon bíblico judío, relatos populares sobre los sucesos de la victoria de los macabeos, relatos bíblicos conocidos y tradiciones orales rabínicas antiguas y otras tardías.</p>   <p align=\"left\">Desde antaño diversas comunidades judías desde Italia hasta Yemen adoptaron la costumbre de leer esta Meguilá durante el Shabbat que acaece durante los días de Janucá (algunos lo hacían luego de la Haftará, otros durante Minjá e incluso algunos en sus casas). Presento aquí una versión bilingue hebreo-español, con notas al pie para enriquecer y esclarecer la lectura, con la esperanza de hacer popular este relato y que el mismo pueda ser leído en casas y en sinagogas para que pase a formar parte de nuestra liturgia y de nuestros rituales de Janucá cada año.  Concluyo esta breve introducción con las palabras del autor de II Macabeos que termina su obra diciendo: “Si está bien escrita y ordenada, esto fue lo que me propuse. Si es mediocre y sin valor, sólo eso fue lo que pude hacer.” (15:38)</p>  <p align=\"left\">1 de Kislev del 5779<br>Viernes 9 de Noviembre del 2018<br>Buenos Aires, Argentina</p>",

+        "Y Bagris<sup class=\"footnote-marker\">5</sup><i class=\"footnote\">La historicidad de este personaje es incierta ya que su nombre solo aparece en la presente obra. Su nombre es quizás una deformación de Bajides (ver. I Macabeos 7:8) quien era el general del Rey Dimitrio, sin embargo Flavio Josefo lo describe como el general en los tiempos de Antíoco (Guerra de los judíos 1:2:3) y tanto en Macabeos I y II junto a Nicanor es el principal general heleno que comanda los ataques a Judea y Jerusalén.</i>, su virrey, también construyó una ciudad igualmente grande y la llamó Bagris por su nombre, y así se las llama a ambas ciudades hasta este día.",
+        "En el año veintitrés de su reinado, que era el año doscientos trece desde la construcción del Templo, se propuso conquistar Jerusalén.<sup class=\"footnote-marker\">6</sup><i class=\"footnote\">Este dato es históricamente incorrecto ya que el reinado total de Antíoco IV fue de 11 años. El dato de los 213 años desde la reconstrucción del Templo también es incorrecto ya que el mismo fue concluido aproximadamente en el año 516 a.e.c, sin embargo según la cronología rabínica (Seder Olam Rabá) el Templo fue terminado en el año 350 a.e.c, siendo 213 años después, el año 137 a.e.c fecha también incorrecta pero mucho más aproximada a los tiempos de la conquista de Jerusalén en el año 168 a.e.c.</i> ",

+        "<i>Ellos no sacrifican a nuestros dioses, no guardan nuestras leyes, y descuidan las leyes del rey, para seguir las suyas</i>.<sup class=\"footnote-marker\">7</sup><i class=\"footnote\">Esta fraseología, ausente en las tradiciones literarias más autenticas del relato de Janucá, seguramente se inspiró en la historia bíblica de Ester en las palabras de Haman cuando busca acusar al pueblo judío frente al rey diciendo: “Hay un pueblo esparcido y distribuido entre los pueblos en todas las provincias de tu reino, y sus leyes son diferentes de las de todo pueblo, y no guardan las leyes del rey, y al rey nada le beneficia el dejarlos vivir.” (3:8)</i> ",
+        "<i>Y además, desean el día de la destrucción de reyes y gobernantes, y dicen: \"Nuestro rey gobernará sobre nosotros; y gobernaremos la tierra y el mar, y todo el mundo será dado en nuestras manos.\" No es honroso para el reinado permitirles vivir sobre la faz de la tierra</i>.",

En esta reedición rabínica de la historia es el rey pagano quien prohíbe la circuncisión en contraste con la tendencia judía asimilacionista del libro de I Macabeos. Es importante marcar aquí que esta re-edición rabínica de la historia de Januca no contiene ninguna referencia a los judíos helenistas ni al proceso de asimilación cultural de los propios judíos, ni los conflictos y debates al interior del pueblo judío. Aquí es un rey malvado, y sus secuaces, quienes intentan por todos los medios terminar con los judíos y con su judaísmo.</i></i>\".<sup class=\"footnote-marker\">9</sup><i class=\"footnote\">Los Shabbatot son los sábados, el día de descanso. Los novilunios hace referencia a Rosh Jodesh, la semi-festividad que marca el comienzo de cada mes y en consecuencia la determinación del calendario con sus festividades y días sagrados. La circuncisión es el pacto de la Milá una de las más antiguas costumbres israelitas y marcas identitarias del pueblo judío. En la tradición rabínica estos son los tres grandes decretos en contra de la observancia de la Torá supuestamente promulgados por Antíoco IV (Otzar HaMidrashim, Janucá p. 189). En I Macabeos 1:41-50 se mencionan sin embargo varios otros decretos y edictos del rey Antíoco IV contras las leyes y costumbres de la religión judía entre las que se encuentran la prohibición de celebrar el Shabbat, los sacrificios diarios, la circuncisión y las festividades.</i> ",

+        "And Bagris his viceroy, also built a city equally great and called it Bagris after his name and so are they called to this day.",
+        "In the twenty and third year of his reign which was the two hundred and thirteenth year of the erection of the Sanctuary, he set his face towards Jerusalem.",
+        "And he spoke to his officers, saying, “Surely you know that there is a Jewish people in our midst in Jerusalem.",
+        "They do not sacrifice to our gods, our laws they do not keep, and they neglect the laws of the king, to follow their own.",
+        "And further, they look forward to a day of destruction of kings and rulers for when, they say ‘When will our king rule over us; and we shall govern land and sea, and all the world will be our dominion.’ It is not to the glory of the kingdom, to suffer them on the face of the earth.",
+        "Come now, and let us go up against them, and destroy the covenant their God has made with them, their Sabbaths, new-moon [festivals], and circumcision.”",
+        "And this found favor in the eyes of his officers and in the eyes of all his army.",
+        "And thus it came to pass that King Antiochus arose and sent his viceroy Nicanor, with a heavy host and a large multitude, and they came to the city of Judea, Jerusalem.",
+        "And many did he slay, and he set up an altar in the Sanctuary, in the place where the God of Israel had spoken to his servants, the prophet saying, “There shall I cause My Presence to dwell for ever.”[1] 12 In that place he sacrificed a swine, and brought its blood into the hall of the Sanctuary.",
+        "And when Yoḥanan, the son of Matithyah, the High-Priest heard of this deed, he became filled with fury, and the radiance departed from his face And he took counsel with himself as what to do regarding this.",
+        "And then Yoḥanan, the son of Matithyah, made a sword unto himself, two spans in length and one span in breadth, and he hid it beneath his garment.",
+        "And he came to Jerusalem and stood in the royal gate, and he called to the guards, saying, “I am Yoḥanan, the son of Matithyah, and I am come before Nicanor.",
+        "The guards came to Nicanor and said, “The High-Priest of the Jews stands in the gate. And Nicanor answered and said, “Let him surely come in.Then was Yoḥanan brought into the presence of Nicanor. And Nicanor spoke to Yoḥanan, saying, “You are one of the rebels, who have rebelled against the king and seek not the peace of his kingdom.”",
+        "And Yoḥanan answered and said to Nicanor, “My lord now I am come before you. Whatsoever you desire, that will I do.”",
+        "And Nicanor answered and said to Yoḥanan, “If thou will do my desire, arise and take a swine and slaughter it upon the altar. And you will be given royal dress, and will ride on the king’s horse, for you will be as one beloved of the king.”",
+        "When Yoḥanan heard this, he answered, “My lord, I fear the children of Israel, lest they hear of my deed and stone me with stones.",
+        "Let therefore everyone go from before you, lest they inform them.” And Nicanor ordered everyone from his presence.",
+        "And Yoḥanan, the son of Matithyah, then raised his eyes to Heaven and poured forth his prayer saying, “My God and God of My fathers Avraham, Yitzḥak, and Yaakov,",
+        "deliver me not into the hands of this heathen, for if he slay me he will repair to the Temple of Dagon his god, and say, ‘My god has delivered him in my hands.’”At that moment, he stepped forward and plunged the sword into Nicanor’s heart, and cast his body into the hall of the Sanctuary,",
+        "before the Eylah Shemayah [God of Heaven]. And Yoḥanan spoke and said, “My God, account it not as a sin that I killed him in the Sanctuary. Thus may You do to all who came with him to oppress Judea and Jerusalem.”",
+        "And Yoḥanan the son of Matithyah went forth on that day and fought the enemy and slew many of them.",
+        "The number of the enemy which he did slay that day was seven thousand for they slew one another.",
+        "When he returned, he built a pillar which he called after his name, “Macabee, the slayer of the mighty.”",
+        "And when Antiochus the king heard that his viceroy Nicanor was slain, he was sorely vexed. And he sent for Bagris, the wicked, who leads his people astray.",
+        "And Antiochus spoke to Bagris and said, “You know, for you have heard, what the children of Israel have done to me, they have slain my hosts, and have despoiled my camps and officers.",
+        "Can you now put your trust in your wealth, or consider your homes as your own? Come, let us go up against them, and destroy the covenant their god has made with them through their Sabbaths, the new-moon [festival observance], and circumcision.”",
+        "Then did Bagris, the wicked, and all his armies, come into Jerusalem, and slew many of its inhabitants.",
+        "And he issued a severe decree banning, the Sabbath, the new moon, and circumcision.",
+        "And seeing that this royal decree was issued in haste, they soon found a man who circumcised his son. And the man and his wife were brought before them, and they hung them opposite the child.",
+        "There was also a woman who bore a son after the death of her husband, and she circumcised him when he was eight days old. And she went up on the wall of Jerusalem, bearing her circumcised son.",
+        "And she cried out and said, “To you Bagris, the wicked, be it said ‘You plan to destroy the covenant that has been made with us, the covenant of our forefathers. Sabbath and the new-moon [festivals] and circumcision we will not abandon, neither we nor our children’s children.’ And she cast her son to the ground, and leaped down after him, and both died together. Many of the children of Israel did thus in those days rather than violate the covenant of their fathers.",
+        " Therefore the Israelites said one to the other, “Come let us withdraw into a cave, lest here we be compelled to desecrate the Sabbath.” But their plan was betrayed to Bagris.",
+        "Then did Bagris, the wicked, send armed men, to camp at the entrance to the cave. And they said, “Jews, come forth to us, eat with us of our bread, and drink with us of our wine, and do even as we do.”",
+        "And the children of Israel spoke and said one to another, “We all remember what we were commanded upon Mount Sinai; ‘Six days shall you labor, and upon the seventh day, shall you rest.’[2] It were better to die in this cave than to profane the Sabbath day.”",
+        "And when the Jews would not come forth, Bagris’ men brought wood, which they burned at the entrance of the cave, killing about a thousand men and women",
+        "And the five sons of Matithyah, Yoḥanan and his four brethren, came out and fought with the enemy and slew many of them",
+        "and drove them to the far islands of the sea, for they trusted in the God of Heaven.",
+        "And Bagris, the wicked, boarded a ship and fled to Antioch, to the king and with him were those who escaped the sword.",
+        "And Bagris spoke to Antiochus, saying, “Though, you king have commanded the Jews to cease their observance of Sabbath, the new-moon [festival], and circumcision; yet they have rebelled against you, and defraud you. Not all the peoples and tongues could conquer the five sons of Matithyah, who are mightier than lions, swifter than eagles, and fiercer than bears.",
+        "And now, O King, if my counsel wins your favor, go forth to do battle against them, [so that they] shall be shamed before all the kings.",
+        "Therefore, do you dispatch letters to all the provinces of your kingdom that the captains of the armies come, and let no one remain behind and their elephants, garbed with shields and harness shall they bring with them.”",
+        "And this found favor in the eyes of King Antiochus. He sent letters to all the provinces of his empire. And the governors of each people and each province came and they brought elephants garbed with shields and harness.",
+        "And Bagris, the wicked, arose and went up against Jerusalem a second time, and made a breach in its wall and tore down its entrance. He made thirteen breaches in the Sanctuary, and some of the stones he destroyed, causing them to crumble like dust.",
+        "And he thought to himself, “Surely this time they shall not overcome me, for my host is so numerous, and my strength is so great.” The God of Heaven, however, planned otherwise.",
+        "When the five sons of Mattithyah heard this, they arose and came to Mitzpah Gil’ad, where Israel had won a great victory in the day of Shmuel, the prophet.",
+        "And they decreed a fast day, and sat on ashes and prayed to the God of Heaven for mercy.",
+        " And a good plan occurred to Yehudah, the eldest, Shim’on, the second of the sons, Yoḥanan, the third, Yonathan, the fourth, and El’azar, the youngest.",
+        "And their father blessed them and said, “Yehudah, my son, you are like Yehudah the son of Yaakov, who was like unto a lion.",
+        "Shim’on, my son, you are like Shim’on the son of Yaakov who slew the people of Shkḥem.",
+        "Yoḥanan, my son, you are like Avner the son of Ner, the head of the host of Israel.",
+        "Yonathan, my son, you are like Yonathan the son of Shaul, who slew the Plishtim.",
+        "And you El’azar, my son, you are like Pinḥas the son of El’azar who was jealous for his God’s sake, and thus delivered the children of Israel.”",
+        "Following this, the five sons of Matithyah went forth that day and fought the enemy, and slew many among them. But Yehudah was slain in the battle.",
+        "When the sons of Matithyah saw that their brother Yehudah was slain, they returned to their father.",
+        "And when he said to them, “Why have you returned?” they replied, “Because our brother who was the equal of all the rest of us, is slain.",
+        "And Matithyah said, “I will go with you and I too will fight the enemy, lest the House of Israel perish, seeing that you are so alarmed by reason of your brother’s death.”",
+        "And Matithyah went forth that day with his sons and fought the enemy.",
+        "And the God of Heaven delivered all the mighty men of the enemy into their hands, and they slew many among them, slaying all who were armed with swords, or who drew a bow; all the captains of the army and their lesser officers, so that none remained; for the remnant fled to distant provinces.",
+        "El’azar while engaged in killing the elephants, sank in the dung of the elephants.",
+        "And when they returned from battle they sought him and found him sunk in the dung of the elephants.",
+        "And the children of Israel rejoiced that their enemies had been delivered into their hands; some of them they burned in fire, some they pierced with the sword, and some they hung upon the trees.",
+        "And Bagris who lead his people astray, was burned by the House of Israel in fire.",
+        "When King Antiochus heard that Bagris, the wicked, and all the captains who were with him were slain, he embarked upon a boat and fled to a distant province; and it came to pass that wherever he landed, they rebelled against him and called him “the Coward.”",
+        "After these things, the sons of the Ḥashmonai came into the Sanctuary, restored the gates, repaired the breaches, and cleansed the hall of the dead and of all its impurity.",
+        "And they sought pure olive oil with which to light the Menorah, but they found only one little vessel sealed with the seal of the High-Priest and they knew it to be pure. And it contained but sufficient oil for one day.",
+        "But the God of Heaven Who caused His presence to dwell in the Sanctuary, gave His blessing and it sufficed to light the Menorah eight days.",
+        "Therefore did the sons of the Ḥashmonai together with the Israelites",
+        "ordain that these eight days be ever celebrated as days of joy and feasting along with the festivals ordained in the Torah; that candles be lit to commemorate the victory they achieved through the God of Heaven;",
+        "that it be forbidden to mourn or to decree a fast-day during this period, except such as may have been established previously, and it was further ordained to pray and thank God.",

+        "(That day saw the end of the Kingdom of Greece.",
+        "And the sons of the Ḥashmonai and their sons after them did rule over Israel from that day till the destruction of the Beit haElohim [Temple of God], a period of two hundred and six years.)",

+            "כי אבותיה היו ישרי לב וידריכוה בדרכי תורת משה:",
+            "ויהויקים היה עשיר מאד ויהי לו כרם חמד אצל ביתו וכל התאספו אליו כי נכבד היה מכל אנשי העיר:",

+            "ויעשו להם כמשפט תורת משה \"ועשיתם לו כאשר זמם לעשות לאחיו\":",
+            "ויהרגו אותם וינצלו ביום ההוא מִשפוֹך דם נקי בישראל:",
