1 Maccabees 1:14
13. Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:14. Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen:15. And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.
