George Leo Haydock, on Amos 5:6

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Amos 5:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.”
On this verse:
“Joseph. His two grandchildren gave name to the principal tribes of the kingdom. — Bethel. Septuagint, “Israel,” which seems preferable. (Calmet) — Yet Bethel may stand, as it denotes the apostate Israelites.”
