Jdt 14:2 · Douay-Rheims
“And as soon as the sun shall rise, let every man take his arms, and rush ye out, not as going down beneath, but as making an assault.”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900
1849
A.D.
George Leo Haydock Catholic
1774–1849
“Beneath. Into the valley; but make your appearance just out of the walls, as if you were rushing upon the enemy. Greek adds after arms, “and you shall appoint a leader over them, as if descending into the plain to the advanced guard of the Assyrians; but ye shall not go down. Then these seizing all their armour, will go to the camp, and awaken the leaders of the Assyrians, and they will run to the tent of Holofernes, and shall not find him. Then fear shall seize upon them, and they will flee before us. Whereupon ye, and all who inhabit the confines of Israel, shall follow after, and strew them in their paths,” slain and wounded, ver. 6. (Haydock)”

The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
