menu_book Verse in Context

22 This is the copy of the writing which they wrote back again on tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that it might be with them there for a memorial of peace and alliance:

23 “Good success be to the Romans, and to the nation of the Jews, by sea and by land forever. May the sword and the enemy be far from them.

24 But if war arises for Rome first, or any of their allies in all their dominion,

25 the nation of the Jews shall help them as allies, as the occasion shall indicate to them, with all their heart.

26 To those who make war upon them, they shall not give supplies, food, weapons, money, or ships, as it has seemed good to Rome, and they shall keep their ordinances without taking anything in return.
