1:10 Antiokos and the spread of Greek customs
10 There came out of them a sinful root, Antiokos (Antiochus) Epifanes (Epiphanes), son of Antiokos the king, who’d been a hostage at Romai, and he reigned in[fn] the one hundred and thirty seventh year of the kingdom of the Hellains (Greeks).
11 In those days transgressors of the law came out of Yisrael (Israel) and persuaded many, saying, “Let’s go make a covenant with the[fn] Gentiles around us; for since we were separated from them many evils have befallen us.” 12 That proposal was good in their eyes. 13 Some of the people eagerly went to the king, and he authorised them to observe the ordinances of the[fn] Gentiles. 14 So[fn] they built a gymnasium in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) according to the laws of the[fn] Gentiles. 15 They made themselves uncircumcised, forsook the holy covenant, joined themselves to the[fn] Gentiles, and sold themselves to do evil.
16 The kingdom was established in the sight of Antiokos, and he planned to reign over Mitsrayim (Egypt), that he might reign over both kingdoms. 17 He entered into Mitsrayim with a[fn] great multitude, with chariots, with elephants, with cavalry, and with a great[fn] navy. 18 He made war against Ptolemaios (Ptolemy) king of Mitsrayim. Ptolemaios was put to shame before him, and fled; and many fell wounded to death. 19 They took possession of the strong cities in the land of Mitsrayim, and he took the spoils of Mitsrayim.
