George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Jdt 16:26 · Douay-Rheims
“And chastity was joined to her virtue, so that she knew no man all the days of her life, after the death of Manasses her husband.”
On this verse:
“Chastity. Greek, “many desired to have her, (Haydock; in marriage. ; Worthington) but no man knew her,” &c. (Haydock) — She again practised the same mortifications which she had done before. (Suidas) (Calmet) — Husband. Greek adds, “when he was removed to his people. And proceeding, (to the temple, or advancing in age) she was very great, and she grew old in her,” &c. (Haydock) — She probably went up to Jerusalem at the great festivals. (Menochius)”
