George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Jdt 10:8 · Douay-Rheims
“But they asked her no question, only they let her pass, saying: The God of our fathers give thee grace, and may he strengthen all the counsel of thy heart with his power, that Jerusalem may glory in thee, and thy name may be in the number of the holy and just.”
On this verse:
“But. Greek, “And they said to her, May God, the God of.” — With. Greek, “For the glory of the Israelites, and the exaltation of Jerusalem; and they adored God. And she said to them, Order the gate of the city to be opened for me, and I will go out to accomplish what you were talking about to me. And they commanded the young men to open for her; and they did so. But Judith and her maid went out. And the citizens looked at her while she descended the hill, till she had passed the valley, when they lost sight of her; and they passed along straight through the vale, and the advanced guard of,” &c. (Haydock) — It appears that there was still day-light, (Calmet) or the moon shone brightly. (Haydock)”
