Simon Son of Onias
50The leader of his brothers and the pride of his peopley
was the high priest, Simon son of Onias,
who in his life repaired the house
and in his time fortified the temple.
2He laid the foundations for the high double walls,
the high retaining walls for the temple enclosure.
3In his days a water cistern was dug,z
a reservoir like the sea in circumference.
