1 Maccabees

1 Maccabees 13:52

καὶ ἔστησεν κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν τοῦ ἄγειν τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην μετὰ εὐφροσύνης. καὶ προσωχύρωσεν τὸ ὄρος τοῦ ἱεροῦ τὸ παρὰ τὴν ἄκραν· καὶ ᾤκει ἐκεῖ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ παρ’ αὐτοῦ.
King James Version (KJV)

He ordained also that that day should be kept every year with gladness. Moreover the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.

Modern English

He decreed that this day should be celebrated joyfully every year. He also strengthened the temple hill next to the citadel beyond what it had been, and settled there with his men.
