Haydock's commentary
Vow, in consequence of his son's nativity. The sacrifice might be of precept, such as the paschal lamb, or for his wife's purification and the redemption of his first-born, as they could not attend in person. (Calmet)
Hebrew, "the victim of days and his vow," which he had probably made in conjunction with Anna. (Menochius)
