When Mattathias had thus discoursed to his sons, and had prayed to
God to be their assistant, and to recover to the people their former constitution,
he died a little afterward, and was buried at Modin; all the people making
great lamentation for him. Whereupon his son Judas took upon him the administration
of public affairs, in the hundred fbrty and sixth year; and thus, by the
ready assistance of his brethren, and of others, Judas cast their enemies
out of the country, and put those of their own country to death who had
transgressed its laws, and purified the land of all the pollutions that
were in it.
