George Leo Haydock, on Tob 7:14
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Tob 7:14 · Douay-Rheims
“And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee.”
On this verse:
“Moses. It was not so much in force during the captivity, particularly as Raguel had only moveables; and therefore the seven former husbands had not been near relations. (Menochius) — It was a disgrace to refuse marrying a relation, who was an heiress, Numbers xxxvi. 6., and Ruth iv. 6. (Calmet)”
