| 0:03.3 | old sing. |
| 0:06.3 | The one for is mistily ooh. Today we look at two of my favorite books in the Old Testament and that is first and second. |
| 0:19.0 | Today we look at two of my favorite books in the Old Testament, and that is First and Second Maccabees. |
| 0:26.0 | It tells the story of warriors who are zealous for the law of God, in particular for the temple of God and for the law of God, in particular for the temple of God |
