George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 16:29

“And all the people mourned for seven days.”

“Seven days. The usual term; (Ecclesiasticus xxii. 13.) but it was extra ordinary for the whole province (Calmet) to mourn for an individual. Greek and Syriac add, “And she divided all her possessions, before her death, among the nearest relations of her husband, Manasses, and among her own,” (Haydock) which was very equitable, as she had no children, (Calmet) we may suppose. (Tirinus) (Haydock)”
