Judith 11:13–15

New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions

13They have decided to consume the first fruits of the grain and the tithes of the wine and oil, which they had consecrated and set aside for the priests who minister in the presence of our God in Jerusalem—things it is not lawful for any of the people even to touch with their hands.* 14Since even the people in Jerusalem have been doing this, they have sent messengers there in order to bring back permission from the council of the elders.* 15When the response reaches them and they act upon it, on that very day they will be handed over to you to be destroyed.
