Psalms 48:12

Verse 12. Sepulchres. Hebrew Kobrom is better than the present Kirbam, their “interior,” and is adopted by the Chal. Syr. and so forth Calmet.—“Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever.” Prot. Bible.—Called. That is, they have left their names on their graves, which alone remain of their lands, ( Challoner.) or, they have called cities and countries by their own names, as Alexander and Romulus did, Alexandria, ( Bible.) and Rome. Menochius. and so forth—They have spread their fame throughout the world. Calmet.—Scarcely two translate the four last verses alike. Bert.
