  • Mattathias "Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments: Yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers. God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances. We will not harken to the king's words, to go from our religion, either on the right hand, or on the left."
    • 1 Maccabees 2:19-22
    • Proposed as Quote of the Day for January 1 2024 in honor of the seventh day and eighth and last night of Hannukah 5785, and the 1st of w:Tevet, which coincides with 1st January on this unusual month and year. (But reverted without explanation - although Christmas quotes are featured this and every year on and before 25 December) Hannukah begins on Kislev 25, which will be December 14 2025. If not the quote from Mattitayahu, please pick another listed at Hannukah.
  • Judah Maccabee: It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company: 19 For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven. 20 They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us: 21 But we fight for our lives and our laws. 22 Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.

  • "Arabia for the Arabs, Judea for the Jews, and Armenia for the Armenians" T.E. Lawrence, 5+
  • An Egyptian priest named Moses, who possessed a portion of the country called the Lower Egypt, being dissatisfied with the established institutions there, left it and came to Judaea with a large body of people who worshipped the Divinity. He declared and taught that the Egyptians and Africans entertained erroneous sentiments, in representing the Divinity under the likeness of wild beasts and cattle of the field; that the Greeks also were in error in making images of their gods after the human form. For God [said he] may be this one thing which encompasses us all, land and sea, which we call heaven, or the universe, or the nature of things.... By such doctrine Moses persuaded a large body of right-minded persons to accompany him to the place where Jerusalem now stands..
    • Strabo, The Geography, XVI 35, 36, Translated by H.C. Hamilton and W. Falconer, pp. 177–78
