George Leo Haydock, on Neh 9:18

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 9:18 · Douay-Rheims
“Yea when they had made also to themselves a molten calf, and had said: This is thy God, that brought thee out of Egypt: and hail committed great blasphemies:”
On this verse:
“Blasphemies. By attributing the perfections of God to a senseless idol. Protestants follow the Septuagint, “provocations.” Neatsoth (Haydock) properly implies words of an insulting nature. (Calmet)”
