Mic 6:5 · Douay-Rheims
“O my people, remember, I pray thee, what Balach the king of Moab purposed: and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Setim to Galgal, that thou mightest know the justices of the Lord.”
On this verse:
“From Setim to Galgal. He puts them in mind of the favour he did them, in not suffering them to be quite destroyed by the evil purpose of Balach and the wicked counsel of Balaam; and then gives them a hint of the wonders he wrought in order to bring them into the land of promise, by stopping the course of the Jordan, in their march from Setim to Galgal. (Challoner) — Galgala, “limits,” may denote those of the Jordan, between which river and Setim Israel was encamped, Numbers xxii., and xxv. — Justices. Symmachus, “mercies.” (Calmet)”
