Mattathias' Charge to His

Sons Before His Death

(From Yosiphon)

Now the days of Mattathias drew nigh that he should die;
end he called unto his five sons, and he encouraged them, and
be strengthened them with his words. And he said unto them:
**My sons, I know that now many wars will be waged among
You, because we arose and bestirred ourselves to fight for our
'people and for our remnant that escaped, and for the of our
God. And now, my sons, be jealous for the sale f of your God
and for the sake of His sanctuary; and fear not death for if yel
die in the battle of the Lord, ye will receive your reward, and
ye will be in the land of the' living with our fathers. Moreover,
ye will also inherit a portion and an inheritance in the lot of
their inheritance; for all our fathers were jealous for the Lord,
and our God gave them grace and honor ... Now my sons, be
strong and of good courage, fear not, and be not dismayed on
sAccount of these unclean nations; for they trust in their strength
and that perisheth and in their might that cometh to an end,
but ye trust in the strength of the Lord our God which perisheth
Not and in the power of His might which cometh not to arA
end For they trust in the multitude of their troops and in their
army: but ye trust in. the Lord with whom are strength and
lower to save by many or by few."
