| I Maccabees 1:16 | And they made themselves prepuces, and departed from the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathens, and were sold to do evil: | Made. St. Jerome thinks the attempt useless. But the Jews discovered the art. (St. Epiphanius; Pond. xvi.; Bartol.) (1 Corinthians 7:18.) --- Sold to the devil, becoming his instruments, 3 Kings 21:25., and Romans 7:14. (Calmet) --- Go to 2 Machabees 4:7. |
