Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.

EXPLANATION

Verse 7. Straight. Hebrew “a straight foot.” Prot. prefer “feet.” Bible.—Of a calf. Aquila reads to the same import hagol, “round,” instead of hegel, ( Bible.) “a calf.” Sym. has “winged feet,” like Mercury. Calmet.—Septuagint omit this, says S. Jerom, though we have his version of Sym. as if it belonged to the Sept.; and it occurs in Grabe as genuine.—Brass. Septuagint add, “and their feathers were very light.” Bible.
