Judith 16:18-20

New Catholic Bible

Thanksgiving at Jerusalem

¹⁸ The people then went to worship God at Jerusalem. As soon as the people were purified, they presented their holocausts, their free-will offerings, and their gifts. ¹⁹ Judith presented to God as a votive offering all the possessions of Holofernes that the people had given to her, as well as the canopy that she had taken for herself from his bedchamber. ²⁰ For three months the people continued their celebration in Jerusalem before the sanctuary, and Judith stayed with them.
