EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Loins. The towers were fastened here by an iron chain.—Belly. Yet it is nowhere so easily wounded. 1 Maccabees 6:45. Pliny viii. 20.—Hence some would translate Hebrew “and its pain in the belly,” ( Calmet.) as it is only subject to an inflammation and flux; profluvium alvi. Pliny. Ælian xvii. 44.—But the original rather denotes the parts of generation, which lie concealed, (Arist. anim. ii. 1. and verse 2.) and are styled the strength. Genesis 49:3. Deuteronomy 21:17.
