EXPLANATION

Verse 63. To meditate on the obligations of the state on which he was about to enter, and on other pious subjects, free from noise and distraction. Bible.—In profane authors, the word used by the Septuagint means to talk about trifles, and so forth Calmet.—But the known piety of Isaac, and the authority of that version, forbid that we should take it here in that sense.
