GRK Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἤκουσαν τὰ ἔθνη κυκλόθεν ὅτι ᾠκοδομήθη τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐνεκαινίσθη τὸ ἁγίασμα ὡς τοπρότερον, καὶ ὠργίσθησαν σφόδρα.

3

GRK Καὶ ἐπολέμει Ἰούδας πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ τὴν Ἀκραβαττίνην, ὅτι περιεκάθηντο τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς πληγὴν μεγάλην, καὶ συνέστειλεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν.

KJV And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host.

12

GRK Νῦν οὖν ἐλθὼν ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν, ὅτι πέπτωκεν ἐξ ἡμῶν πλῆθος.

KJV Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain:

13

GRK Καὶ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν οἱ ὄντες ἐν τοῖς Τωβίου τεθανάτωνται, καὶ ᾐχμαλωτίκασι τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν, καὶ ἀπώλεσαν ἐκεῖ ὡς μίαν χιλιαρχίαν ἀνδρῶν.

KJV Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are put to death: their wives and their children also they have carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men.

14

GRK Ἔτι αἱ ἐπιστολαὶ ἀνεγινώσκοντο, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελοι ἕτεροι παρεγένοντο ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας διεῤῥηχότες τὰ ἱμάτια, ἀπαγγέλλοντες κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα,

KJV While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise,

15

GRK λέγοντες ἐπισυνῆχθαι ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἐκ Πτολεμαΐδος καὶ Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος καὶ πάσης Γαλιλαίας ἀλλοφύλων, τοῦ ἐξαναλῶσαι ἡμᾶς.

KJV And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against us to consume us.

16

GRK Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν Ἰούδας καὶ ὁ λαὸς τοὺς λόγους τούτους, ἐπισυνήχθη ἐκκλησία μεγάλη, βουλεύσασθαι τί ποιήσωσι τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν τοῖς οὖσιν ἐν θλίψει, καὶ πολεμουμένοις ὑπʼ αὐτῶν.

KJV Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.

17

GRK Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰούδας Σίμωνι τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ, ἐπίλεξον σεαυτῷ ἄνδρας, καὶ πορεύου καὶ ῥῦσαι τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου τοὺς ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ· ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ὁ ἀδελφός μου πορευσόμεθα εἰς τὴν Γαλααδίτιν.

KJV Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad.

18

KJV Now unto Simon were given three thousand men to go into Galilee, and unto Judas eight thousand men for the country of Galaad.

21

KJV Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over Jordan, and travelled three days’ journey in the wilderness,

25

GRK Καὶ συνήντησαν τοῖς Ναβαταίοις, καὶ ἀπήντησαν αὐτοῖς εἰρηνικῶς, καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτοῖς ἅπαντα τὰ συμβάντα τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι.

KJV Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them in a peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad:

26

GRK Καὶ ὅτι πολλοὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν συνειλημμένοι εἰσὶν εἰς Βόσσορα, καὶ Βοσὸρ, ἐν Ἀλέμοις, Χασφὼρ, Μακὲδ, καὶ Καρναΐν· πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὗται ὀχυραὶ καὶ μεγάλαι·

KJV And how that many of them were shut up in Bosora, and Bosor, and Alema, Casphor, Maked, and Carnaim; all these cities are strong and great:

27

GRK καὶ ἐν ταῖς λοιπαῖς πόλεσι τῆς Γαλααδίτιδός εἰσι συνειλημμένοι, καὶ εἰς αὔριον τάσσονται παρεμβάλλειν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀχυρώματα, καὶ καταλαβέσθαι, καὶ ἐξᾶραι πάντας τούτους ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ.

KJV And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Galaad, and that against to morrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.

28

GRK Καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰούδας καὶ ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον εἰς Βοσὸρ, ἄφνω· καὶ κατελάβετο τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἀπέκτεινε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας, καὶ ἔλαβε πάντα τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐνέπρησεν αὐτὴν πυρί.

KJV Hereupon Judas 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,

29

GRK Καὶ ἀπῇρεν ἐκεῖθεν νυκτὸς, καὶ ἐπορεύετο ἕως ἐπὶ τὸ ὀχύρωμα.

KJV From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.

30

GRK Καὶ ἐγένετο ἑωθινὴ, καὶ ᾖραν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ λαὸς πολὺς οὗ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμὸς, αἴροντες κλίμακας καὶ μηχανὰς καταλαβέσθαι τὸ ὀχύρωμα, καὶ ἐπολέμουν αὐτούς.

KJV And betimes 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.

31

GRK Καὶ εἶδεν Ἰούδας ὅτι ἦρκται ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἡ κραυγὴ τῆς πόλεως ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν σάλπιγξι καὶ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ.

KJV When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,

32

GRK Καὶ εἶπε τοῖς ἀνδράσι τῆς δυνάμεως, πολεμήσατε σήμερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν.

KJV He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.

33

GRK Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐν τρισὶν ἀρχαῖς ἐξ ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξι, καὶ ἐβόησαν ἐν προσευχῇ.

KJV So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.

34

GRK Καὶ ἐπέγνω ἡ παρεμβολὴ Τιμοθέου ὅτι Μακκαβαῖός ἐστι, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς πληγὴν μεγάλην, καὶ ἔπεσον ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ εἰς ὀκτακισχιλίους ἄνδρας.

KJV Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.

35

GRK Καὶ ἀπέκλινεν εἰς Μασφὰ, καὶ ἐπολέμησεν αὐτὴν, καὶ προκατελάβετο αὐτὴν, καὶ ἀπέκτεινε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐνέπρησεν αὐτὴν πυρί.

KJV This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; and after he had assaulted it he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and and burnt it with fire.

36

GRK Ἐκεῖθεν ἀπῇρε, καὶ προκατελάβετο τὴν Χασφὼν, Μακὲδ, Βοσὸρ, καὶ τὰς λοιπὰς πόλεις τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος.

KJV From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.

37

GRK Μετὰ δὲ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα συνήγαγε Τιμόθεος παρεμβολὴν ἄλλην, καὶ παρενέβαλε κατὰ πρόσωπον Ῥαφὼν ἐκ πέραν τοῦ χειμάῤῥου.

KJV After these things gathered Timotheus another host and encamped against Raphon beyond the brook.

38

GRK Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰούδας κατασκοπεῦσαι τὴν παρεμβολήν, καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ, λέγοντες, ἐπισυνηγμένα εἰσὶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κύκλῳ ἡμῶν, δύναμις πολλὴ σφόδρα.

KJV So Judas 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.

39

GRK Καὶ Ἄραβας μεμίσθωται εἰς βοήθειαν αὐτοῖς, καὶ παρενέβαλον πέραν τοῦ χειμάῤῥου ἕτοιμοι τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ σὲ εἰς πόλεμον· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἰούδας εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῶν.

KJV He hath also hired the Arabians to help them and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them.

40

GRK Καὶ εἶπε Τιμόθεος τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν Ἰούδαν καὶ τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν χειμάῤῥουν τοῦ ὕδατος, ἐὰν διαβῇ πρὸς ἡμᾶς πρότερος, οὐ δυνησόμεθα ὑποστῆναι αὐτὸν, ὅτι δυνάμενος δυνήσεται πρὸς ἡμᾶς.

KJV Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:

41

GRK Ἐὰν δὲ δειλωθῇ, καὶ παρεμβάλῃ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, διαπεράσομεν πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ δυνησόμεθα πρὸς αὐτόν.

KJV But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him.

42

GRK Ὡς δὲ ἤγγισεν Ἰούδας ἐπὶ τὸν χειμάῤῥουν τοῦ ὕδατος, ἔστησε τοὺς γραμματεῖς τοῦ λαοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ χειμάῤῥου, καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς, λέγων, μὴ ἀφῆτε πάντα ἄνθρωπον παρεμβαλεῖν, ἀλλʼ ἐρχέσθωσαν πάντες εἰς τὸν πόλεμον.

KJV Now when Judas 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.

43

GRK Καὶ διεπέρασεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς πρότερος, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὅπισθεν αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνετρίβησαν πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἔῤῥιψαν τὰ ὅπλα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὸ τέμενος ἐν Καρναΐν.

KJV 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 Carnaim.

44

GRK Καὶ προκατελάβοντο τὴν πόλιν, καὶ τὸ τέμενος ἐνεπύρισαν ἐν πυρὶ σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐτροπώθη ἡ Καρναῒν, καὶ οὐκ ἐδύναντο ἔτι ὑποστῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον Ἰούδα.

KJV But they took the city, and burned the temple with all that were therein. Thus was Carnaim subdued, neither could they stand any longer before Judas.

45

GRK Καὶ συνήγαγεν Ἰούδας πάντα Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, καῖ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν, παρεμβολὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα, ἐλθεῖν εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα.

KJV Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Judea.

46

GRK Καὶ ἦλθον ἕως Ἐφρών· καὶ αὕτη ἡ πόλις μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου ὀχυρὰ σφόδρα· οὐκ ἦν ἐκκλῖναι ἀπʼ αὐτῆς δεξιὰν ἢ ἀριστερὰν, ἀλλʼ ἢ διὰ μέσου αὐτῆς πορεύεσθαι.

KJV 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.

47

GRK Καὶ ἀπέκλεισαν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐκ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐνέφραξαν τὰς πύλας λίθοις.

KJV Then they of the city shut them out, and stopped up the gates with stones.

48

GRK Καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰούδας λόγοις εἰρηνικοῖς, λέγων, διελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου τοῦ ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐδεὶς κακοποιήσει ὑμᾶς, πλὴν τοῖς ποσὶ παρελευσόμεθα· καὶ οὐκ ἠβούλοντο ἀνοῖξαι αὐτῷ.

KJV Whereupon Judas 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.

49

GRK Καὶ ἐπέταξεν Ἰούδας κηρύξαι ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, τοῦ παρεμβαλεῖν ἕκαστον ἐν ᾧ ἐστι τόπῳ.

KJV Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was.

50

GRK Καὶ παρενέβαλον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν τὴν πόλιν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα, καὶ παρεδόθη ἡ πόλις ἐν χερσὶν αὐτοῦ.

KJV 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:

51

GRK Καὶ ἀπώλεσε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας, καὶ ἐξεῤῥίζωσεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς, καὶ διῆλθε διὰ τῆς πόλεως ἐπάνω τῶν ἀπεκταμμένων.

KJV Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and rased the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that were slain.

52

GRK Καὶ διέβησαν τὸν Ἰορδάνην εἰς τὸ πεδίον τὸ μέγα κατὰ πρόσωπον Βαιθσάν.

KJV After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.

53

GRK Καὶ ἦν Ἰούδας ἐπισυνάγων τοὺς ἐσχατίζοντας, καὶ παρακαλῶν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ὁδὸν, ἕως οὗ ἦλθον εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα.

KJV And Judas gathered together those that came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Judea.

54

GRK Καὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ὄρος Σιὼν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ χαρᾷ· καὶ προσήγαγον ὁλοκαυτώματα, ὅτι οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐθεὶς ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

KJV So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, where they offered burnt offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace.

55

GRK Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αἷς ἦν Ἰούδας καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ἐν τῇ Γαλαὰδ, καὶ Σίμων ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ κατὰ πρόσωπον Πτολεμαΐδος,

KJV Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,

56

GRK ἤκουσεν Ἰωσὴφ ὁ τοῦ Ζαχαρίου, καὶ Ἀζαρίας, ἄρχοντες τῆς δυνάμεως, τῶν ἀνδραγαθιῶν καὶ τοῦ πολέμου οἷα ἐποίησαν,

KJV Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done.

57

GRK καὶ εἶπε, ποιήσωμεν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἑαυτοῖς ὄνομα, καὶ πορευθῶμεν πολεμῆσαι πρὸς τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κύκλῳ ἡμῶν.

KJV Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen that are round about us.

58

GRK Καὶ παρήγγειλαν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς δυνάμεως τῆς μετʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐπὶ Ἰάμνειαν.

KJV So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Jamnia.

59

GRK Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Γοργίας ἐκ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ, εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον.

KJV Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight against them.

60

GRK Καὶ ἐτροπώθη Ἰώσηφος καὶ Ἀζαρίας, καὶ ἐδιώχθησαν ἕως τῶν ὁρίων τῆς Ἰουδαίας· καὶ ἔπεσον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς δισχιλίους ἄνδρας.

KJV And so it was, that Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there were slain that day of the people of Israel about two thousand men.

61

GRK Καὶ ἐγενήθη τροπὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι οὐκ ἤκουσαν Ἰούδα καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ, οἰόμενοι ἀνδραγαθῆσαι.

KJV Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act.

62

GRK Αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἦσαν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων, οἷς ἐδόθη σωτηρία Ἰσραὴλ διὰ χειρὸς αὐτῶν.

KJV Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, by whose hand deliverance was given unto Israel.

63

GRK Καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ Ἰούδας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐδοξάσθησαν σφόδρα ἑναντίον παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν πάντων, οὗ ἠκούετο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν.

KJV Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of;

64

GRK Καὶ ἐπισυνήγοντο πρὸς αὐτοὺς εὐφημοῦντες.

KJV Insomuch as the people assembled unto them with joyful acclamations.

65

GRK Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰούδας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπολέμουν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἡσαῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ πρὸς Νότον, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν Χεβρὼν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῆς, καὶ καθεῖλε τὸ ὀχύρωμα αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς πύργους αὐτῆς ἐνέπρησε κυκλόθεν.

KJV Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.

66

GRK Καὶ ἀπῇρε τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ διεπορεύετο τὴν Σαμάρειαν.

KJV From thence he removed to go into the land of the Philistines, and passed through Samaria.

67

GRK Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔπεσον ἱερεῖς ἐν πολέμῳ βουλόμενοι ἀνδραγαθῆσαι, ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς ἐξελθεῖν εἰς πόλεμον ἀβουλεύτως.

KJV At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.

68

GRK Καὶ ἐξέκλινεν Ἰούδας εἰς Ἄζωτον γῆν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ καθεῖλε τοὺς βωμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ γλυπτὰ τῶν θεῶν αὐτῶν κατέκαυσε πυρὶ, καὶ ἐσκύλευσε τὰ σκῦλα τῶν πόλεων, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς τὴν γῆν Ἰούδα.

KJV So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, 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 Judea.
