2 Machabees 1:8
They burnt the gate, and shed innocent blood: then we prayed to the Lord, and were heard, and we offered sacrifices, and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the loaves.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Portam succenderunt, et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem : et oravimus ad Dominum, et exauditi sumus, et obtulimus sacrificium et similaginem, et accendimus lucernas, et proposuimus panes.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐνεπύρισαν τὸν πυλῶνα, καὶ ἐξέχεαν αἷμα ἀθῷον· καὶ ἐδεήθημεν τοῦ κυρίου καὶ εἰσηκούσθημεν· προσηνέγκαμεν θυσίαν καὶ σεμίδαλιν, καὶ ἐξηγάγομεν τοὺς λύχνους, καὶ προεθήκαμεν τοὺς ἄρτους.
Haydock's commentary
Flour, (mincha) including corn, &c. After Judas had purified the temple, the usual sacrifices were offered. (Calmet)
