Image: 156 I Macc VI 43 Eleazors Bold Enterprise Right

Eleazar's bold enterprise. : And Eleazar, called Avaran, saw that one of the beasts was equipped with royal armor. It was taller than all the others, and he supposed that the king was upon it. So he gave his life to save his people and to win for himself an everlasting name. He courageously ran into the midst of the phalanx to reach it; he killed men right and left, and they parted before him on both sides. He got under the elephant, stabbed it from beneath, and killed it; but it fell to the ground upon him and he died. (I Maccabees 6:43-46) (RSV) - from "Figures de la Bible" book, 1728.
