George Leo Haydock, on Judg 3:17
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Judg 3:17 · Douay-Rheims
“And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.”
On this verse:
“Fat. The ancient version used by St. Augustine had, “lean,” which he justly took in an ironical sense. Septuagint asteios, signifies “beautiful and genteel.” (Calmet) — Serarius explains it in the same sense as the Vulgate. (Menochius)”
