George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 7:6
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Jdt 7:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Now Holofernes, in going round about, found that the fountains which supplied them with water, ran through an aqueduct without the city on the south side: and he commanded their aqueduct to he cut off.”
On this verse:
“An aqueduct: the fountain must therefore have been on a higher ground than the city, though the latter was on an eminence. (Calmet) — Yet water may be forced to ascend by pipes. (Haydock)”
