So we write to you again that you may celebrate the Feast of Tents in the month of Chislev in this year one hundred and eighty-eight. (2 Maccabees 1, 9)
The priests of Nanea had set out the treasures and Antiochus entered the sacred enclosure with a few men. But as soon as Antiochus had entered, they closed the temple (2 Maccabees 1, 15)
and opened a secret door in the ceiling. Then they threw stones down and crushed the leader and his men. They then dismembered the bodies, cut off their heads and threw them to those outside. (2 Maccabees 1, 16)
As we are about to celebrate the purification of the Temple on the twenty-fifth day of Chislev, it seems good to us to inform you, so that you, too, may celebrate the Feast of Tents and remember the fire that appeared when Nehemiah, who built the Temple and the altar, offered sacrifices. (2 Maccabees 1, 18)
But they reported to us that they did not find the fire but instead a thick liquid. So Nehemiah ordered them to draw it out and bring it to him. When the sacrifice had been prepared on the altar, Nehemiah ordered the priests to sprinkle the liquid on the wood and the victims placed on it. (2 Maccabees 1, 21)
Gather our scattered people together, set free those held in slavery among the nations, turn your eyes on those who are despised and crushed; so the pagans may know that you are our God. (2 Maccabees 1, 27)
and when the sacrifice was all consumed, Nehemiah ordered that the remaining liquid be poured over some large stones. (2 Maccabees 1, 31)
This was done, and a flame flared up but it was outshone by the fire from the altar. (2 Maccabees 1, 32)
So, after verifying the facts, the king ordered that a fence be built to enclose the place and decreed that it be a sacred place. (2 Maccabees 1, 34)
It is found in the archives that the prophet Jeremiah ordered the exiles to take the fire, as we have already said. (2 Maccabees 2, 1)
There Jeremiah found a cave; and he brought in the ark, the tent that covered it and the altar of incense. Then he closed up the entrance with stones. (2 Maccabees 2, 5)
When Jeremiah learned this, he reproached them and said, "This place is to remain hidden until God has compassion on his scattered people and gathers them together. (2 Maccabees 2, 7)
