George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 8:3
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Jdt 8:3 · Douay-Rheims
“For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers.”
On this verse:
“Died. Greek, “fell upon his couch; (Grabe adds, “and died in Betuloua, his own city,”) and they buried him with his fathers, in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.” (Haydock) — These places seem to be added without reason, as they were too remote from Bethulia. (Calmet)”
