George Leo Haydock, on Neh 7:69

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 7:69 · Douay-Rheims
“Their camels, four hundred thirty-five, their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.”
On this verse:
“Hitherto. This is not in the original, or in the other versions. It is inserted in the margin of some Latin manuscripts, and entirely omitted in others of great authority. The gloss might have been placed after ver. 64. (Calmet) — Yet some of the following verses seem also to be copied from 1 Esdras. (Haydock) — St. Jerome informs us from what sources the work was compiled, which is all declared canonical by the Church, (Worthington) whether written by Esdras or by Nehemias. (Haydock)”
