Notes, Critical and Explanatory, on the Holy Scriptures

H. P. "The children of the youth" — young men are like sharp arrows in the hand of a giant— they are powerful in defence of the parent. Jansens, after St. Jerome, shows that the Vulgate uses excmso- rum for young men. The Syriac version, as also Symmachus and Theodotion supports this meaning.

" Quiver." The figure of arrows cased in a quiver is preserved.

The text is in the plural. They shall not be confounded.
