Haydock's commentary

Ark. Septuagint, "the ephod." (Kimchi, &c.)

Spencer follows the sentiment of the Rabbins, and explains it of a little box, in which the ephod and pectoral were placed, when they were brought to the army. But what need of this explication? (Calmet)

How the oracle was given is uncertain. (Menochius)
