46 All the people consented to ordain for Simon that he should do according to these words;
47 and Simon accepted hereof, and consented to be high priest, and to be captain and governor of the Jews and of the priests, and to be protector of all.
48 And they commanded to put this writing on tables of brass, and to set them up within the precinct of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;
49 and moreover to put the copies thereof in the treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.
