ففعلوا كلهم وتضرعوا الى الرب الرحيم
بابكاء والصوم والسجود مدة ثلاثة أيام بلا انقطاع.
(المكابيين الثاني 13: 12)
So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.
(2 Maccabees 13: 12)
