Tobit 1:5

Verse 5. All, or the greatest part; ( Bible.) for some still feared God; (Calmet. 2:2. Worthington.) and the Greek of Calmet. 5:14 or 19 informs us that Ananias and Jonathan accompanied Tobias. Bible.—Greek is more diffuse. Calmet.—(4) “All the tribe of Nephthali, of my father, departed from the house of Jerusalem, which city had been chosen from all the tribes of Israel, for all the tribes to offer sacrifice; and the temple of the tabernacle of the most High was sanctified, and was built forever; (5) and all the tribes, apostatizing together, sacrificed to Baal, to the heifer; (Comp. ed. to the power of Baal) and the house of Nephthali, of my father, likewise. (6) And I alone went frequently to Jerusalem, at the feasts” ( Bible.) of the Passover, and so forth Menochius.—The other versions are nearly similar. Calmet.—But we cannot specify all these variations. Bible.—The number has induced some to conclude, not improbably, that there were two originals; ( Tirinus.) the Syriac by the elder, and the Chaldee by the younger Tobias. Justiniani.—But this is destitute of proof. Calmet.
