Neh 4:10 · Douay-Rheims
“And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.”
On this verse:
“Juda. Some of the Jews, (Menochius) who were dispirited at the greatness of the work and the threats of the enemy. — Burdens. Septuagint, “of the enemies.” Arabic, “the Jews were strengthened, there were many porters, but they could not finish the work.” (Calmet) — Rubbish to be removed. (Tirinus)”
