EXPLANATION

Verse 2. They called: that is Moses and Aaron called: but they went away after other gods, and would not hear. Challoner.—Septuagint “As I called them back, or (repeatedly; μετεκαλησα. Grabe has, “he called;” meaning any of God’s ministers) so they rushed away from my presence.” Bible.—This sense appears preferable to the Hebrew Calmet.
