George Leo Haydock, on Neh 7:3
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 7:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And I said to them: Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun be hot. And while they were yet standing by, the gates were shut, and barred: and I set watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one by their courses, and every mall over against his house.”
On this verse:
“Sun. Literally, “the heat of the sun,” or perfect daylight. (Haydock) — They. Syriac and Arabic, “while it was still day,” (Calmet) or the sun shone. Before dusk the gates were shut, to prevent any improper person from entering. (Haydock) — House, on the walls. (Calmet) — These things protect a city; as grace a guard over the senses, and watchfulness do the soul. (Worthington)”
