Mic 6:7 · Douay-Rheims
“May the Lord be appeased with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat he goats? shall I give my firstborn for my wickedness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
On this verse:
“Fat. Hebrew, “torrents of oil.” — First-born, like Jephte, or the king of Moab, Judges xi., and 4 Kings iii. 27. Saturn taught the Phœnicians this impiety. (Eusebius, pręp. iv. 16.) (Calmet)”
