Latin
5Now upon the same day that the temple had been polluted by the strangers on the very same day it was cleansed again; to wit, on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu.
6And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts.
7Therefore they now carried boughs and green branches and palms, for him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.
8And they ordained by a common statute, and decree, that all the nation of the Jews should keep those days every year.
