George Leo Haydock, on Neh 4:12

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 4:12 · Douay-Rheims
“And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us,”
On this verse:
“Ten times, frequently. (Menochius) — Places, among the Cuthites. — Whence they. Protestants, “ye return unto us, they will be upon you. ” Hebrew, the second person is put for the third, which occurs in the Septuagint, &c., though they refer it to the enemy. “They come up from all places against us.” (Haydock) — De Dieu would translate, “return to us,” cultivate the friendship of Sanaballat; or “return home,” and leave off this work. The sense of the Vulgate is the most easy, and the best. (Calmet)”
