Verse 16. Themselves. The band of robbers had marked out their prey. Bible.—Hebrew “In the day time they lie concealed, and know not the light.” Calmet.—Septuagint or rather Theodotion, from whom verse 15 to 17 is taken, “They have sealed themselves up during the day.” If we should read εαυτοις, Hebrew lamo, we might translate as well “they marked them out for themselves.” Bible.—The adulterer had made is his arrangement with the faithless woman, when he should break into the house. Menochius.
