This latter expression may have been fulfilled during the Maccabean period when the Jews under the family of the Maccabees expelled their enemies from the Promised Land and rededicated the temple, which had been defiled.
( Mihas 5: 6, 7.) Šis pēdējais izteiciens, iespējams, piepildījās Makabeju laikā, kad ebreji Makabeju dzimtas vadībā padzina savus ienaidniekus no Apsolītās zemes un atkal veltīja Jehovam templi, kas bija apgānīts.
