LXX 2 Macc 12:40 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
εὗρον δὲ ἑκάστου τῶν τεθνηκότων ὑπὸ τοὺς χιτῶνας ἱερώματα τῶν ἀπὸ Ἰαμνίας εἰδώλων, ἀφʼ ὧν ὁ νόμος ἀπήργει τοὺς Ἰουδαίους· τοῖς δὲ πᾶσι σαφὲς ἐγένετο διὰ τήνδε τὴν αἰτίαν τούσδε πεπτωκέναι.
And they found under the coats of the slain, some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews: so that all plainly saw, that for this cause they were slain.
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
