George Leo Haydock, on Tob 1:20

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Tob 1:20 · Douay-Rheims
“He fed the hungry, and gave clothes to the naked, and was careful to bury the dead, and they that were slain.”
On this verse:
“Slain, by order or connivance of Sennacherib. (Menochius) — Tobias buried the dead, out of charity, and the belief of a future resurrection. Hence arises the respect for tombs and the relics of the saints. (Calmet) — The pagans imagined that the souls could not rest till their bodies were interred. (Homer, Virgil vii., &c.) (Calmet)”
