3 Maccabees 1:11
New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions
11When they said that this was not permitted because not even members of their own nation were allowed to enter, not even all of the priests, but only the high priest who was preeminent over all—and he only once a year—the king was by no means persuaded.
