George Leo Haydock Catholic

1774–1849

“He. Greek, “He was much troubled. But his wife said to him, the boy is come to an untimely end, since he tarries; and she began to mourn for him, and said, I am not, or am I not full of solicitude, my son, that I have let thee go, the light of my eyes and Tobit ?”, ver. 6. Without this interrogation, (Haydock) the Greek seems to be corrupt; (Calmet) and os , “how,” or oi , “woe,” should be put instead of ou , “not.” (Drusius; Grotius; &c.) “ Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light,” &c., Protestants.”
