1 Maccabees 10:35

³³Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews, that were carried captives out of the land of Judah into any part of my kingdom, and I will that all my officers remit the tributes even of their cattle.

³⁴Furthermore I will that all the feasts, and Sabbaths, and new moons, and solemn days, and the three days before the feast, and the three days after the feast, shall be all days of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my realm.

— 1 Maccabees 10:35 —

³⁶I will further, that there be enrolled among the king’s forces about thirty thousand men of the Jews, unto whom pay shall be given, as belongeth to all the king’s forces.

³⁷And of them some shall be placed in the king’s strongholds, of whom also some shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, which are of trust: and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea.
