George Leo Haydock, on Neh 5:8
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 5:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And I said to them: We, as you know, have redeemed according to our ability our brethren the Jews, that were sold to the Gentiles: and will you then sell your brethren, for us to redeem them? And they held their peace, and found not what to answer.”
On this verse:
“Redeemed, by paying the ransom to the Babylonians, or by using all our endeavours to procure the releasement of our brethren. (Calmet) — For us. Protestants, “or shall they be sold unto us?” (Haydock) — A true pastor practises what he preaches to others. (Worthington)”
