ExplanationCommentary
Verse 1. Girdle, usually worn by women. Saint Jerome Exodus 28:42.—It denoted the Jews, who became more corrupt during the captivity; (verse 7. 11) so that God delivered them out of his pure mercy. Thus He explains this prophetical action. Calmet.—Loins. God cherished his people. Menochius.—Water. He made choice of them when they were rough and deformed. Saint Jerome—Their sins cause their ruin. Bible.
