“And fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him את which is able to destroy both soul and body in Gey Hinnom.” Mattithyahu (Matthew) 10:28 | את Cepher Publishing Group.

This scripture makes it plain, that the Body is Not the Soul, otherwise, when our body is destroyed, how could our Soul not be destroyed!
We should never fear what man might do to us.
Our Savior Ya’ohshai taught us who we are to truly fear!
Don’t fear those who can Kill our fleshly bodies, but fear Him, The Almighty Creator ABBA YAH, YHWH | YA’OH ALA’AYM, who can destroy our bodies and Souls in Gehenna!
The “Hidden Books of the Bible goes into great detail about The Day of Judgment | The YOM DIN!
All who are in leadership positions, whether they are dictators, kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers, spiritual, political…must take note!
Most modern translators who wrote their versions of Bible don’t delve into the following information!
It is extremely important to understand this as it will impact everyone’s future!
The following information teaches us the true meaning of our Savior’s (Ya’ohshai’s) teachings about Gehenna!
The Original Version ETHIOPIAN BIBLE In English, published by: Edward Jones
In our previous posts we went into Chapters 1 and 2: Here’s Chapters 3 through 6:
(Unique to Ethiopian Canon) Historical Books.
Just remember, this style of English is very different from what we use in the United States of America:
Meqabyan I Chapter 3:1-38:
“Like unto you sight up before these the Most I YAH | JAH slaves - ‘Abya - Seela - Fentos who dead arose - you have that you might arise likewise after you dead - and your faces shall shine like unto the Sun in the kingdom of Heaven.
and them went with those men and raceived martyrdom there.
At that time them begged - them praised - and them bowed to YAH | JAH - death didn’t frighten them and the king punishment didn’t frighten them.
and them went toward those youths and became like unto a sheep that have no evil - yet them didn’t frighten them - and on the time them arrived toward them - them seized and beat them and bound and whipped them - and delivered them toward the king and stood before him.
and the king answered to them sayin - “How won’t you stubborn ones sacrifice and bow to mi creators?”
Those bredren who were cleansed from sin - who were honoured and chosen and Feeling good - and shone like unto a jewel whose value was wondrous - Seela and Abya and Fentos answered to him in one word.
Them told that king who were a plague - “ As to I - I won’t bow nor sacrifice to defouled idols that have no knowledge nor reasonin.”
and again them told him - “I won’t bow to idols that were silver and gold that a person worked - that were stone and wood - that have no reasonin nor soul nor knowledge - that don’t benefit them friends nor harm them enemies.
and the king answered to them sayin - “Why do you do thus- and as them know who insult them and who wrong them - why do you insult the glorified creators?”
Them answered to him sayin - “As them are like unto a trifle alongside -I as to to I - I will insult them and won’t glorify them.”
and the king answered them sayin - “Mi will punish you like unto your Work evil measure - mi will destroy your features attractiveness with whippin and firm tribulation and fire.
and now tell mi whether you will give or won’t give sacrifice to mi creators- as to if this didn’t happen - mi will punish you by sword and by whippin
Them answered to him sayin - as to I - I won’t sacrifice nor bow to defouled idols - and the king commanded them that them might beat with a fat stick - and again that them might whip them with a whip - and after it - that them might splinter them up til them inner organs were in sight up.
and after this them might bound and made them while in jail house up til him counsel by money that punish and kill them.
Without niceness them took and bound them a firm imprisonment in prison house - and them sat in prison house three night and three daylights.
and after the third day the king commanded a Proclamation speaker might turn and that counselors and nobles - country elders and officials - might be gathered.
and on the time the king Tseerutsaydan sat in square - him commanded that them might bring those honoured ones - Seela and Abya and Fentos ~ them stood before him bein wounded and bound.
and king told them - “When you sat these three days -mare there really the returnin that you returned - or are you in your former evil?”
and those honoured YAH | JAH Souljahs answered to him sayin - “As to that I were cruel - I won’t agree that I might worship the idols filled with sin and evil that thou check up.”
and that criminal vexed commanded that them might stand them up in lofty place and might renew them wounds ~ them blood flowed on Earth.
and again him commanded that them burn them with a torch lamp and might char them flesh - and him servants did like unto him commanded them - and those honoured men told him- “Thou who forgot YAH THORAH | JAH LAW - speak ~ I reward shall abound in the measure
whereby thou multiply I punishment.
and again him commanded that them might bring and send on them bears and tigers and lions that were evil beasts before them eat them food that them might totally eat the flesh with them bones
and him commanded persons who keep the beasts that them might send the beasts on them - and them did like unto him commanded them - and them bound those honoured martyrs feet - and again them maliciously beat them and bound them with tent-stakes.
and those beasts were flung over them while them roared - and on the time them arrived toward martyrs them hailed and bowed to them.
Then returned toward them keepers while the roared - and them frightened them keepers - them took toward the square up til them delivered them toward the king.
and them killed seventy five men from the criminals army there.
Many persons panicked - the one anguishin on the one in fear - up til the king quit him throne and fled - and them seized the beasts with difficulty and took them toward them lodgin.
Seela and ‘Abya and Fentos two bredren came and released them from the imprisonmant them bound them and told them - “Come make I flees lest these skeptics and criminals find me.
and those martyr answers them bredren sayin - “ It aren’t procedure that I might flee after I setup to testimony - as it were you feared - go fleein.”
and those them little bredren said - “I will stand with you before the king - and if you dead I will dead with you.
and after this the king were on him lordship hall balcony and sight up that these honoured men were released and that all the five bredren stood together ~ those chiefs who work and punish troops questioned that them were bredren and told the king - and the king vexed and shouted like unto a wilderness boar.
And up til the king counseled by money that punish all five bredren - him commanded that them might seize and add them in prison house ~ them placed them in prison house bindin in firm imprisonmant without niceness with hollow stalk.
and the king Tseerutsaydan said - “These youths who erred wearied mi ~ what should these men reasonin firm up? And the Work evil are like unto them Power firmness - if mi say - “Them will return” - them will make reasonin evil.
and mi will bring hardship on them like unto them Work evil measure - and mi will burn them flesh in fire that it might be charred ash - and on that mi will scattar them flesh ash like unto dust on mountains.”
and after him spoke this him waited three days and commanded that them might bring those honoured men - and on the time those honoured men approached him commanded that them might burn a fire within the great pit oven - and that them might add within it a malice Work that flame the fire and whereby them boil a fat - the fat and soapberries - sea foam and resin and the sulfur.
and on the time fire flamed in the pit messengers went toward the king when them said - “We did what thou commanded we - send the men who will be added.”
and him commanded that that them might receive and cast them in the fire pit - and the youths did like unto the king commanded them - and on the time those honoured men entered toward the fire them gave them souls to YAH | JAH.
and when the persons who cast them sight up - mAngels raceived and took them souls toward the Garden where Yis’haq and Abriham and Ya’iqob are - where Feeling good joy are found.
All words written are not errors, they are written down precisely as written in this edition of the Original Ethiopian Bible In English* verbatim:
Meqabyan I Chapter 4:1-37:
and on the time that criminal sight up that them dead - him commanded that them might burn them flesh in fire up til it are ash and that them might scattar them in wind - but the fire couldn’t able to burn the corpse hair from them side - and them sent them forth from the pit.
and again them flamed fire over thembeginnin from mornin up til evenin ~ it didn’t burn them ~ them said - “An now come make cast them corpses seaward.”
and them did like unto the king commanded them ~ them cast the them on the sea ~ even if them cast them seaward addin great stones and iron hearthstones and a millstone whereby a donkey grind by turnin - there are no sinkin that the sea sank them - as YAH | JAH Spirit of Support have lodged in them - them floated on the sea yet them didn’t sink ~ it failed him to destroy them by all the malice that were provoked on them.”
As this them death have made weary more than them Life - make mi cast them corpses to beasts that them might eat them - yet what will mi do? him said.
and the youths did like unto him commanded him ~ vultures and beasts didn’t touch them corpses ~ birds and vultures veiled them with them wings from the burnin Sun and the five martyrs corpses sat fourteen days.
and on the time them sight them up - them bodies shone up like unto Sun - and Angels incircled them corpses like unto light incircled the Tent.
Him counseled counsel ~ him lacked what him to do - and after this him dug a grave and buried the five martyrs corpses.
and when that king who forgot YAH THORAH | JAH LAW had reclined on a bed at night the five martys were sight up to him standin before him at night vexin and sezin swords.
As it have seemed to him them entered toward him house at night in crime - on the time him awoke from him slumber him feared and loved that him might flee from the bedchamber toward hall - and as it have seemed to him that them killed seemin that them committed crime on him - him feared and him knees trembled.
Because this thing him said - “Mi lords - what do you love? As to mi - what should mi do with you?”
Them answered to him sayin - “Aren’t I whom thou killed burnin in friend I whom you commanded that them might cast on the sea? As YAH | JAH have kept I bodies because I believe on Him - it failed thee to destroy I - as a person who believed in Him won’t perish - make glory and praise due to YAH | JAH - and I also who believed in Him didn’t shame in tribulation.”
As mi didn’t know that a punishment like unto this will find mi - what reward should mi give you because the stead wherefore mi did an evil thing on you?
and now separate to mi the reward mi give you - lest you take mi body in death and lest you lower mi body toward See’ol when mi are in Life.
As mi have wronged you - forgive mi mi sin - because it were your Father YAH THORAH | JAH LAW Niceness” him told them.
and those honoured martyrs answered to him sayin - “Because the stead wherefore thou did evil thing on I - as to I - I won’t pay the a evil thing ~ as YAH | JAH are Who bring hardship on a soul - as to Him Who will pay the hardship - there are YAH | JAH.
However I were sight up to thee bein revealed that I were well to thy timeframe bein small and because thy reasonin deafness ~ as to it seemin to thee that thou killed I - thou prepared welfare to me.
But thy idols priests and thou will descend toward Gehannem where are no exits forever.
Woe to thy idols to whom thou bow havin quit bowin to YAH | JAH Who Created you when you were scorned like unto the spit - and to you worship them - and you don’t know YAH | JAH Who Created you bringin from not livin toward livin ~ aren’y you who sight up today like unto smoke and tomorrow who perish?
and the king answered to them sayin - “What will you command mi that mi might do to you all that you loved?”
It are to save thy ras self lest thou enter toward the Gehannem of fire - yet it aren’t to save I ras selves who teach thee.
to your idols are silver and gold - stone and wood - that have von reasonin nor soul knowledge - that a person hand worked.
But them don’t kill ~ them don’t save ~ them don’t benefit them friend ~ them don’t harm them enemy ~ them don’t downbase ~ them don’t honour ~them don’t make wealthy ~ them don’t impoverish ~ them mislead by demons authority ~ who don’t love that the one from persons might be saved - yet them don’t uproot nor plant.
Them especially don’t love that the person might be saved from death - you dull-hearted ones to whom them seem that them Created you - when you are who worked them
As Satans and demons authority have lodged in them - them shall return a thing to you like unto you loved - that it might drown you in the sea of Gehannem.
But thou - quit this thy error and make this also be I reward because I dead stead - that I might benefit I souls worshippin I Creator YAH | JAH” them told him.
But him were alarmed and would totally astony - and as all five have been sight up to him drawin them swords- him feared - because this thing him bowed down to them.
“Hence mi knew that after dead ones who were dust dead them will really arise ~ only a little had remained mi dead.”
After this them were hidden from before that king face ~ from that day onward that Tseerutsaydan who are totally arrogant quit burnin corpses.
As them have misled them many eras - him would be Feeling good in him idols and him reasonin error - and him misled many persons like unto him up til them quit followin in Worship YAH | JAH Who Created them - yet it aren’t only him who erred.
and them would sacrifice them daughter childran and them make childran to demons - yet them work a seducin and disturbance that are them reasonin accord - that them father Satan taught them that him might make the seducin and disturbance that YAH | JAH don’t love.
Them marry them mothers - and themabuse them aunts and them sistren ~ them abuse them bodies while them worked all that resemble this filthy Work ~ as Satan have firmed up those crooked persons reasonin - them said - we won’t return.”
But Tseerutsaydan - who don’t know him Creator - were totally arrogant - and him would boast in him idols.
If them say -n How will YAH | JAH give the Kingdom to the persons who don’t know Him in THORAH | LAW and in Worship?” - them will return toward Him repentance ~ as Him test them thus - it are because this.
But if them totally return in repentance Him would love them - and Him would keep them Kingdom - but if them refuse a fire will punish them in fire of Gehannem forever.
But it would be due a king to fear him Creator YAH | JAH like unto him lordship fame - and it would be due a judge to be ruled to him Creator while him judged goodly judgemant like unto him Rule fame.
and it would be due elders and chiefs and envoys and petty kings to be commanded to them Creator like unto the lordship abundance measure.
As Him are Heaven and Earth Master | Lord Who Created all the Creation - because there are no other Creator in Heaven nor Earth who impoverish and make rich - Him are Who honour and downbase.
In order to bring in the correct name for Our Heavenly Father, we write YAH next to JAH.
This is because our original Hebrew words do Not have the letter “J” in it. You can also glean the truth by observing the “J” in Hallelujah is always pronounced as a “Y” = HalleluYah! {Praise YAH}
Both the Hebrew & Greek languages today, Do Not have the letter “J” in their vocabulary!
Meqabyan I Chapter 5:1-39:
“The one warrior from the sixty warriors were proud ~ YAH | JAH made him body Beginnin from him foot up til him head to swell with one spoon of sulfur ~ him dead in one plague.
and again Keegan who built a iron bed were proud arisin from him powerfulness abundance - and YAH | JAH hid him in death.
and again Nabukedenetsor were proud sayin - “There are no other king without mi - and mi are Creator who make the Sun rise in this world” - and him said thus arisin from him arrogance abundance.
and YAH | JAH separated from persons and sent him toward a wilderness seven years - and him made him a fortune with Heavens birds and wilderness beasts up til him knew that YAH | JAH wren Who Created him.
and on the time him knew Him in worship - Him again returned him toward him kingdom ~ who are it who weren’t of Earth - bein boldly proud on YAH | JAH Who created him?
How about who are it demolished HIM THORAH | LAW and Him Order and whom Earth didn’t swallow?
and thou Tseerutsaydan love thou might be proud on thy Creator - and again thou have that Him might destroy thee like unto like them - and might lower thee toward a grave arisin from thy arrogance.
and again after them entered toward See’ol where are tooth grindin and mournin - that were darkness fulfillmant - thou have that Him might lower thee toward the deep pit Gehannem where are no exits forever.
As to thou - thou are a man who will dead and be demolished tomorrow like unto arrogant kings who were like unto thee - who quit this world livin
As to I - I say - “Thou are demolished ruins - but thou aren’t YAH | JAH - to YAH | JAH are Who Created Earth and Heaven and thee.’
Him downbase arrogant ones ~ Him give firmness to persons who wearied.
Him kill ones ~ Him raise up the persons who were Earth - who dead buried in grave.
And Him send slaves forth free in Life from sin rulership
O king Tseerutsaydan - why do thou boast in thy defouled idols who have no benefit?
But YAH | JAH Created Earth and Heaven and great seas - Him Created moon and Sun - and Him prepared eras.
Man graze toward him field - and him while when him plough up til it dusk - and Heaven stars live firmed up by Him Word.
and Him call all in Heaven ~ there are nothing done without YAH | JAH knowin it.
Him command Heaven Angels that them might serve Him and might praise Him glorified Name - and Angels are sent toward all persons who inherit Life.
Rufa’iel who were a servant were sent toward Thobeet - and him saved Thobya from death in Ragu’iel country.
Hola Meeka’iel were sent toward Giediewon that him might attention by money that him destroy ’Hoflee persons and him were sent toward the prophet Mussie on the time him made Ya’ohsharal | Israel cross ‘Eritra sea.
As only YAH | JAH have said him led them - there were no different idol with them.
and Him sent them forth toward crops on Earth.
and Him fed them Him plantation grain - as Him have totally loved them - Him cherished them feedin the honey that firmed up like unto a rock.
And that thou might totally keep Him kindreds by what re due - and that thou might do YAH | JAH Accord Who Created thee - Him crowned thee givin Authority on the four kingdoms.
to Him have crowned thee making loftier than all - and thy Creator totally crowned thee that thou might love YAH | JAH.
And it are procedure that thou might love thy Creator YAH | JAH likewise unto Him loved thee - like unto Him trusted thee on all the people - and thou - do YAH | JAH Accord that thy era might abound in this world and that Him might live with thee in Support.
And do YAH | JAH Accord that Him stand to thee bein a Guardian on thy enemies - and that Him might seat thee on thy throne - and that Him might hide thee in him Wing of Support.
As to if thou don’t know - YAH | JAH chose and crowned thee on Ya’ohsharal | Israel | Isra’iel like unto Him chose Sa’ol from Ya’ohsharal | Isra’iel childran when him kept him father donkeys - and Him crowned him kindreds ‘Ya’ohsharal | Israel | Isra’iel - and him sat with Ya’ohsharal | Israel | Isra’iel on him throne.
and Him gave him a lofty fortune separatin from kindreds ~ YAH | JAH crowned thee on Him kindreds ` as to henceforth onward - check - keep Him kindreds.
As YAH | JAH have Ipointed thee over them that thou might kill dnd might save - keep them in evil thing - them who work a goodly thing and them who work a evil thing on a goodly thing” him told him.
An as YAH | JAH have Ipointed thee thing on all that thou might do Him Accord be it while thou whipped or while thou saved - pay them evil Work - them who work goodly Work and them who work goodly Work and evil Work.
to thou are a slave of YAH | JAH Who rule all in Heaven - and thou - do YAH | JAH Accord that Him might do o thy accord to thee in all thou thought and in all thou begged while thou wheedled before Him.
There are none who rule Him - but Him rule all.

There are none who dismiss Him - but Him dismiss all.
There are none who reproach Him - but Him reproach all.
There are none who make Him diligent - but Him make all diligent - as Heaven and Earth rulership are to Him - there are none who escape from Him Authority all are revealed alongside him - yet there are none hidden from Him Face.
Him sight up all - but there are none who sight Him up ~ Him hear the person prayer who pray toward him sayin ‘Save I’ - to Him have Created man in Him Pattern - and Him accept him plea.
A King Who live up til the Eternity - Him feed all from Him unchangin Nature.
Meqabyan I Chapter 6:1-38:
“As Him crown to true the kings who do Him Accord - the kings wrote a straight thing because Him.
As them have done YAH | JAH Accord - Him shall shine up in Light that aren’t examined Yis’haq, and Abraham | Abriham and Ya’iqob - Selomon and Daweet and Hiziqyas lodgins in the Garden where all are beautiful kings whose lodgin were Light.
Heaven Hall are what totally shone - yet Earth halls aren’t like onto Heaven Hall ~ it floor - whose features are silver and gold and jewel feature - are clean.
and it features that totally shine are unexamined by a person reasonin ~ Heaven Hall are what like onto jewels.
Like unto YAH | JAH knew - Who were a nature Knower - the Heaven Hall that Him Created are what a person reasonin don’t examine and what shine in total Light ~ it floor - that were worked in silver and gold - in jewels - in white silk and blue silk -are clean.
It are quite totally are beautiful like unto this.
Righteous ones who firmed up in religion and virtue are who shall inherit it in YAH | JAH Charity and to Pardon.
and there are welfare Water that flow from it - and it totally shine like unto Sun - and there are a Light tent within it - and it are incircled by grace perfume.
A Garden fruit that were beautiful and Iloved whose features and taste were different - are around the house - and there are oil and grapes place there - and it are totally beautiful - and it fruit fragrance are sweet.
When a fleshly bloody person enter toward it - him soul would have separated from him flesh from the Feeling good joy abundance that are in it arisin from it fragrance flavour.
Beautiful kings who did YAH | JAH Accord shall be Feeling good there ~ them honour and them place are knowing the Kingdom of Heaven that lived firmed up forever - where welfare are found.
Him showed that them lordship on Earth were famed and honoured - and that them lordship in Heaven were famed and honoured; them shall be honoured and lofty in Heaven like unto them and bow down to them in this world ~ if them work goodly Work in this world them shall be Feeling good.
But kings king who were evil in them Rule and them kingdoms that YAH | JAH gave them - them don’t judge to true by who are due ~ as them has ignored the destitute and poor ones cries - them don’t judge Truth and save the refugee and the wronged child whose father and mother dead on him.
Them don’t save destitute and poor ones from the wealthy hand and rob them ~ them don’t divide and give from them food and satta them who hungered - and them don’t divide and give from them drink and give to drink the persons who thirsted - and them didn’t return them ears toward the poor ones cry.
and Him shall take them toward Gehannem | Get Hinnom | Gehhenna (that were a dark endin ~ on the time that lofty Day arrived on them when YAH | JAH shall come - and on the time Him wrath were done on them like unto Daweet | Do’ayd | David spoke in him Praises ‘Lord | Master - don’t chastise I in Thy Judgemant and don’t admonish I in Thy chastisement’ them problems and them downbasemant shall abound like unto fame abundance measure.
When nobles and kings are who rule this world in this world - there are persons who didn’t keep thy law | thorah.
But YAH | JAH Who rule all are there in Heaven ~ all persons souls and all persons welfare have been seized by Him Authority ~ Him are Who give honour to persons who glorify Him - to totally rule all - and Him love the persons who love Him.
As Him are the Earth and Heaven Lord | Master - Him examine and know what kidneys transported and what a reasonin thought - and to a person who begged toward Him with a pure reasonin - Him shall give him him plea reward.
Him shall destroy powerful ones arrogance - who work evil Work on the child whose mother and father dead on him - and on old daughters.
It aren’t by thy Power that thou seized this kingdom ~ it aren’t by thy bein able that thou sat on this throne ~ Him loved to test thee thus that it be possible to thee rule like unto Sa’ol | Saul who ruled him kindreds in that season - and Him seated thee on a kingdom throne - yet it aren’t by thy Power that thou seized this kingdom ~ it are when Him test thee like unto Sa’ol | Saul who ignored the prophet Samu’iel word and YAH | JAH Word and didn’t serve him army nor ‘Amalieq king - yet it aren’t by thy bein able that thou seized this kingdom.
and YAH | JAH told the prophet Samu’iel - Go - and as them have sadden I by demolishin LAW | THORAH and worshippin the idols and bowin to the idol and by them mosques and by all them hated Works without benefit - tell Sa’ol - ‘Go toward ‘Amalieq country and destroy them hosts and all the kings Beginnin from persons up to livestock.’
on them saddened YAH | JAH because this thing Him sent Sa’ol that he might destroy them.
But him saved them king from death - and him saved many livestock and beauties and daughters and handsome youths from death ~ As him have scorned I thing and as him didn’t hear I Command - Go and divide him kingdom.
Because his stead - Inoint `Issiey child Daweet that him might reign on Ya’ohsharal | Israel.
But on him adjourn a demon who will strangle and cast him.
As him have refused if I-man gave him a kingdom that him might do I Accord - on the time him refused I to do I Accord I-man dismissed him from him kingdom that are due him - but thou - go and tell him sayin - ‘Will thou ignore YAH | JAH Who crowned thee on Him kindreds ‘Ya’ohsharal | Isra’iel - Who seated thee on Him Lordship Throne?
But thou - tell him - ’Thou didn’t know YAH |JAH Who gave around this much honour and famousness’ Him told him.
and the prophet Samu’iel went toward the king Sa’ol and entered toward him sittin at a dinnertable - and when ‘Amalieq king ‘Agag had sat on him left.
Why did thou totally ignore YAH | JAH Who commanded thee that thou might destroy and persons? him told him.
and at that time the king feared and arosed from throne and tellin Samu’iel Return to wi’ him seized him clothes - and Samu’iel refused to return ~ Samu’iel clothes were torn.
and Samu’iel told Sa’ol - ‘YAH | ‘JAH divided thy kingdom.’
and again Sa’ol told Samu’iel before the people - ‘Honour mi and atone mi sin to mi before YAH | JAH that Him might forgive mi’ ~ and him have feared YAH | JAH Word Who Created him - but didn’t fear the king who dead - Samu’iel refused to return in him word.
Because this thing him pierced ‘Amalieq king Aga before him swallowed what him chewed.
and a demon seized Sa’ol who demolished the THORAH of YAH | LAW of JAH - and because Him King of Kings Who rule all YAH | JAH struck on him head a king who worked sin - to do it shame .
to Him are all the Creation Master | Lord Who dismiss all the nobles and kings Authority who don’t fear Him - but there are none who rule Him.
Like unto Him spoke sayin - Daweet | David | Do’ayd kindred shall go while it were famed and downbased - Him destroyed kingdom from him child and from Sa’ol.
Because it saddened Him by them evil Work - YAH | JAH revenged and destroyed Sa’ol kindred childran - to a person who don’t revenge YAH | JAH enemy - him are YAH | JAH enemy.
When it are possible to him to revenge and destroy - and when him have Authority - a person who don’t revenge and destroy the sinner and don’t revenge and destroy a person who don’t keep YAH THORAH | JAH LAW - as him are YAH | JAH enemy - Him destroyed Sa’ol kindred childran.”
In Comparison, Here’s the way The Cepher Publishing Group translates the First Book of Maccabees, Chapters 3-6.
Makkabiym Ri'shon (1 Maccabees) 3:1-60 | את Cepher Publishing Group.
“Then his son Yahudah, called Makkabiy, rose up in his stead. And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Yashar'el. So he got his people great honor, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword. In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey. For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people. Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because yeshu'ah prospered in his hand. He grieved also many kings, and made Ya'aqov glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed forever. Moreover he went through the cities of Yahud, destroying the wicked out of them, and turning away wrath from Yashar'el: So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish. Then Apollonius gathered the other nations together, and a great host out of Shomeron, to fight against Yashar'el. Which thing when Yahudah perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled. Wherefore Yahudah took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long. Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Aram, heard say that Yahudah had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war; He said, I will get me a name and honor in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Yahudah and them that are with him, who despise the king's commandment. So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the wicked to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Yashar'el. And when he came near to the going up of Beyt Choron, Yahudah went forth to meet him with a small company: Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Yahudah: How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day? Unto whom Yahudah answered: It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the Elohiym of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company: For the victory of battle stands not in the multitude of a host; but strength comes from heaven. They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our women and children, and to spoil us: But we fight for our lives and our Torah. Wherefore Yahuah himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them. Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him. And they pursued them from the going down of Beyt Choron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the remnant fled into the land of the Pelishtiym. Then began the fear of Yahudah and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them: So much so as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Yahudah. Now when King Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army. He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them. Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the Torah which had been of old time; He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him. Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money. So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Perath unto the borders of Mitsrayim: And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again. Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Yahud and Yerushalayim: To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Yashar'el, and the remnant of Yerushalayim, and to take away their memorial from that place; And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot. So the king took half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Perath, he went through the high countries. Then Lysias chose Ptolemy the son of Dorymenes, Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends: And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Yahud, and to destroy it, as the king commanded. So they went forth with all their power and came and pitched by Yemiym in the plain country. And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Yashar'el for slaves: a power also of Aram and of the land of the Pelishtiym joined themselves unto them. Now when Yahudah and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them; They said one to another: Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary. Then was the assembly gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion. Now Yerushalayim lay void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the stronghold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Ya'aqov, and the pipe with the harp ceased. Wherefore Yashar'el assembled themselves together, and came to Mitspah, over against Yerushalayim; for in Mitspah was the place where they prayed aforetime in Yashar'el. Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes, And laid open the Cepher of the Torah, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images. They brought also the priests' garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Naziyriym they stirred up, who had accomplished their days. Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, saying: What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them away? For your sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and your priests are in heaviness, and brought low. And lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to destroy us: what things they imagine against us, you know. How shall we be able to stand against them, except you, O Elohiym, be our help? Then sounded they with shofars, and cried with a loud voice. And after this Yahudah ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens. But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed women, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the Torah. So the camp removed and pitched upon the south side of Yemiym. And Yahudah said, arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary: For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary. Nevertheless, as the will of Elohiym is in heaven, so let him do.” Makkabiym Ri'shon (1 Maccabees) 3:1-60 | את Cepher Publishing Group.
Makkabiym Ri'shon (1 Maccabees) Chapter 4:1-61:
“Then Gorgias took five thousand footmen, and a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed out of the camp by night; To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Yahudiym and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides. Now when Yahudah heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's army which was at Yemiym, While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp. In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Yahudah: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he: These fellows flee from us. But as soon as it was day, Yahudah showed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armor nor swords to their minds. And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war. Then said Yahudah to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault. Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red Sea, when Phar'oh pursued them with an army. Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if perchance Yahuah will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day: That so all the heathen may know that there is one who delivers and saves Yashar'el. Then the strangers lifted up their eyes and saw them coming over against them. Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Yahudah sounded their shofars. So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain. Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazzam, and unto the plains of Edom, and Ashdod, and Yavne'el, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men. This done, Yahudah returned again with his host from pursuing them, And said to the people: Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us, And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils. As Yahudah was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain: Who when they perceived that the Yahudiym had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done: When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Yahudah in the plain ready to fight, They fled everyone into the land of strangers. Then Yahudah returned to spoil the tents, where they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches. After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised Yahuah in heaven: because he is good, because his mercy endures forever. Thus Yashar'el had a great deliverance that day. Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened: Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Yashar'el, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass. The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them. So they came into Edom, and pitched their tents at Beyt Sura, and Yahudah met them with ten thousand men. And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed are you, O Savior of Yashar'el, who did quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of your servant David, and gave the host of strangers into the hands of Yonathan the son of Sha'ul, and his armorbearer; Shut up this army in the hand of your people Yashar'el, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen: Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction: Cast them down with the sword of them that love you, and let all those that know your name praise you with thanksgiving. So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain. Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Yahudah's soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antioch, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Yahudah. Then said Yahudah and his brethren: Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary. Upon this all the host assembled themselves together and went up into Mount Tsiyon. And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests' chambers pulled down; They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads, And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and blew an alarm with the shofars, and cried toward heaven. Then Yahudah appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary. So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the Torah: Who cleansed the sanctuary and bore out the defiled stones into an unclean place. And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of ascending smoke offerings, which was profaned; They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down, And laid up the stones in the mountain of the Temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to show what should be done with them. Then they took whole stones according to the Torah and built a new altar according to the former; And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the Temple, and hallowed the courts. They made also new holy vessels, and into the Temple they brought the menorah, and the altar of ascending smoke offerings, and of incense, and the table. And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the menorah they lighted, that they might give light in the Temple. Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make. Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Kiclev, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up early in the morning, And offered sacrifice according to the Torah upon the new altar of ascending smoke offerings, which they had made. Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals. Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the Elohiym of heaven, who had given them good success. And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered ascending smoke offerings with gladness and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise. They decked also the forefront of the Temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed and hanged doors upon them. Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away. Moreover Yahudah and his brethren with the whole assembly of Yashar'el ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Kiclev, with mirth and gladness. At that time also they built up Mount Tsiyon with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the other nations should come and tread it down as they had done before. And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Beyt Sura to guard it; that the people might have a defence against Edom. Makkabiym Ri'shon (1 Maccabees) 4:1-61 | את Cepher Publishing Group.

“Now when the nations round about heard that the altar was built and the sanctuary renewed as before, it displeased them very much. Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Ya'aqov that was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and destroy the people. Then Yahudah fought against the children of E'su in Edom at Arabattine, because they besieged Ga'el: and he gave them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils. Also he remembered the injury of the children of Be'an, who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways. He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers of that place with fire, and all that were therein. Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and many people, with Timotheus their captain. So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were discomfited before him; and he smote them. And when he had taken Yazar, with the towns belonging thereto, he returned into Yahudah. Then the heathen that were at Gil'ad assembled themselves together against Yashar'el that were in their quarters, to destroy them; but they fled to the fortress of Dathema. And sent cepheriym unto Yahudah and his brethren: The heathen that are round about us are assembled together against us to destroy us: And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host. Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain: Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Toviyahu are put to death: their women and their children also they have carried away captives and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men. While these cepheriym were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galiyl with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise, And said: They of Akko, and of Tsor, and Tsiydon, and all Galiyl of the other nations, are assembled together against us to consume us. Now when Yahudah and the people heard these words, there assembled a great assembly together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them. Then said Yahudah unto Shim'on his brother: Choose you out men, and go and deliver your brethren that are in Galiyl, for I and Yonathan my brother will go into the country of Gil'ad. So he left Yoceph the son of Zakaryahu, and Azaryahu, captains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Yahudah to keep it. Unto whom he gave commandment, saying: Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again. Now unto Shim'on were given three thousand men to go into Galiyl, and unto Yahudah eight thousand men for the country of Gil'ad. Then went Shim'on into Galiyl, where he fought many battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him. And he pursued them unto the gate of Akko; and there were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose spoils he took. And those that were in Galiyl, and in Arbattis, with their women and their children, and all that they had, took he away with him, and brought them into Yahudah with great joy.

Yahudah Makkabiy also and his brother Yonathan went over the Yardan, and travelled three days' journey in the wilderness, Where they met with the Nabathiym, who came unto them in a peaceable manner, and told them everything that had happened to their brethren in the land of Gil'ad: And how that many of them were shut up in Bosora, and Be'or, and Alema, Kasphor, Maged, and Ashteroth Qarnayim; all these cities are strong and great: And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Gil'ad, and that against tomorrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day. Hereupon Yahudah and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire, From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress. And early in the morning they looked up, and behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them. When Yahudah therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with shofars, and a great sound, He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren. So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their shofars, and cried with prayer. Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Yahudah Makkabiy, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men. This done, Yahudah turned aside to Mitspah; and after he had assaulted it, he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and burnt it with fire. From thence went he, and took Kasphor, Maged, Be'or, and the other cities of the country of Gil'ad. After these things gathered Timotheus another host and encamped against Raphon beyond the brook. So Yahudah sent men to espy the host, who brought him word, saying: All the heathen that be round about us are assembled unto them, even a very great host. He has also hired the Araviym to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against you. Upon this Yahudah went to meet them. Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host: When Yahudah and his host come near the brook, if he passes over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us: But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him. Now when Yahudah came near the brook, he caused the scribes of the people to remain by the brook: unto whom he gave commandment, saying: Suffer no man to remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle. So he went first over unto them, and all the people after him: then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that was at Ashteroth Qarnayim. But they took the city and burned the temple with all that were therein. Thus was Ashteroth Qarnayim subdued, neither could they stand any longer before Yahudah. Then Yahudah gathered together all Yashar'el that were in the country of Gil'ad, from the least unto the greatest, even their women, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Yahudah. Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it. Then they of the city shut them out and stopped up the gates with stones. Whereupon Yahudah sent unto them in peaceable manner, saying: Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on foot: howbeit they would not open unto him. Wherefore Yahudah commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was. So the soldiers pitched and assaulted the city all that day and all that night, till at the length the city was delivered into his hands: Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that were slain. After this they went over the Yardan into the great plain before Beyt San. And Yahudah gathered together those that came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Yahudah. So they went up to Mount Tsiyon with joy and gladness, where they offered ascending smoke offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace. Now what time as Yahudah and Yonathan were in the land of Gil'ad, and Shim'on his brother in Galiyl before Akko, Yoceph the son of Zakaryahu, and Azaryahu, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done. Wherefore they said: Let us also get us a name and go fight against the heathen that are round about us. So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Yavne'el. Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight against them. And so it was, that Yoceph and Azaryahu were put to flight, and pursued unto the borders of Yahudah: and there were slain that day of the people of Yashar'el about two thousand men. Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Yashar'el, because they were not obedient unto Yahudah and his brethren but thought to do some valiant act. Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, by whose hand deliverance was given unto Yashar'el. Howbeit the man Yahudah and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Yashar'el, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of; So much so as the people assembled unto them with joyful acclamations. Afterward went Yahudah forth with his brethren and fought against the children of E'su in the land toward the Negev, where he smote Chevron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about. From thence he removed to go into the land of the Pelishtiym and passed through Shomeron. At that time certain priests, desirous to show their valor, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly. So Yahudah turned to Ashdod in the land of the Pelishtiym, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into the land of Yahudah.

Makkabiym Ri’shon (MACCABEES) 6:1-63:
And covenant with them, that they shall live after their Torah, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their Torah. So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof. Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the stronghold. Then the king entered into Mount Tsiyon; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about. Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antioch, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him and took the city by force. And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power was driven away of the Yahudiym; and that they were made strong by the armor, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed: Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Yerushalayim, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Beyt Sura. Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for. And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die. Wherefore he called for all his friends and said unto them: The sleep is gone from my eyes, and my heart fails for very care. And I thought with myself: Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power. But now I remember the evils that I did at Yerushalayim, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Yahudah without a cause. I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land. Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm, And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus and nourish him up for the kingdom. So King Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and ninth year. Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.

About this time they that were in the tower shut up Yashar'el round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen. Wherefore Yahudah, purposing to destroy them, called all the people together to besiege them. So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines. Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some wicked men of Yashar'el joined themselves: And they went unto the king, and said: How long will it be ere you execute judgment, and avenge our brethren? We have been willing to serve your father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments; For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew and spoiled our inheritance. Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against their borders. And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Yerushalayim, to take it: the sanctuary also and Beyt Sura have they fortified. Wherefore if you do not prevent them quickly, they will do the greater things than these, neither shall you be able to rule them. Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse. There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers. So that the number of his army was a hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle. These went through Edom, and pitched against Beyt Sura, which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but they of Beyt Sura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly. Upon this Yahudah removed from the tower, and pitched in Beyt Zakaryahu, over against the king's camp. Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Beyt Zakaryahu, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the shofars. And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they showed them the blood of grapes and mulberries. Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best. These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him. And there upon the beasts were strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon everyone two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him. As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks. Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire. So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order. Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty. Then Yahudah and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men. El'azar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him, Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name: Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides. Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died. Howbeit the rest of the Yahudiym seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them. Then the king's army went up to Yerushalayim to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Yahudah, and against Mount Tsiyon. But with them that were in Beyt Sura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land. So the king took Beyt Sura and set a garrison there to keep it. As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set artillery with engines and instruments there to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast spears and slings. Whereupon they also made engines against their engines and held them battle a long season. Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Yahudah that were delivered from the other nations, had eaten up the remnant of the store;) There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.

At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, while he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king, Was returned out of Persia and Madai, and the king's host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs. Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company: We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us: Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation; And covenant with them, that they shall live after their Torah, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their Torah. So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof. Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the stronghold. Then the king entered into Mount Tsiyon; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about. Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antioch, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him and took the city by force.” Makkabiym Ri'shon (1 Maccabees) 6:1-63 | את Cepher Publishing Group.
