Then did Bagris, the wicked, and all his armies, come into Jerusalem, and slew many of its inhabitants.
And he issued a severe decree banning, the Sabbath, the new moon, and circumcision.
And seeing that this royal decree was issued in haste, they soon found a man who circumcised his son. And the man and his wife were brought before them, and they hung them opposite the child.
There was also a woman who bore a son after the death of her husband, and she circumcised him when he was eight days old. And she went up on the wall of Jerusalem, bearing her circumcised son.
