This is the story of Judas Maccabeus and his brothers, of the purification of the great temple, the dedication of the altar, (2 Maccabees 2, 19)
and a part was the property of Hyrcanus, son of Tobias, a man who occupied a very high position. Contrary to the calumnies of the impious Simon, the total amounted to four hundred talents of silver and two hundred of gold. (2 Maccabees 3, 11)
Priests prostrated themselves in their priestly robes before the altar, and loudly begged him in heaven who had given the law about deposits to keep the deposits safe for those who had made them. (2 Maccabees 3, 15)

It then happened that all over the city, for nearly forty days, there appeared horsemen charging in midair, clad in garments interwoven with gold--companies fully armed with lances (2 Maccabees 5, 2)

so that the altar was covered with abominable offerings prohibited by the laws. (2 Maccabees 6, 5)
After purifying the temple, they made a new altar. Then, with fire struck from flint, they offered sacrifice for the first time in two years, burned incense, and lighted lamps. They also set out the showbread. (2 Maccabees 10, 3)
Lying prostrate at the foot of the altar, they begged him to be gracious to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and a foe to their foes, as the law declares. (2 Maccabees 10, 26)
Suddenly, while they were still near Jerusalem, a horseman appeared at their head, clothed in white garments and brandishing gold weapons. (2 Maccabees 11, 8)
