“And after him built the priests, the men of the plains of the Jordan.”
On this verse:
“Plains. Septuagint, “from Chechar,” retaining the original term cucar, which means “a plain.” It lay in the environs of Jerusalem, chap. xii. 28. — Of the Jordan, is not in Hebrew, &c. (Calmet) — They might be natives of that place. (Sa) (Vatable) (Menochius)”
