The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Cumque transcendissent qui portabant arcam Domini sex passus, immolabat bovem et arietem,
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν ἑπτὰ χοροί, καὶ θύμα μόσχος, καὶ ἄρνα.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיְהִ֗י כִּ֧י צָעֲד֛וּ נֹשְׂאֵ֥י אֲרוֹן יְהוָ֖ה שִׁשָּׁ֣ה צְעָדִ֑ים וַיִּזְבַּ֥ח שׁ֖וֹר וּמְרִֽיא

Haydock's commentary

Paces. So altars of turf (Grotius) were erected at this distance from each other, on each side of the road. The pagans have sometimes treated their emperors and deities with the like respect. (Suetonius in Otho and Calig.)

Paris thus addresses Helena in Ovid's Heroic Epistles.

Ibis Dardanias ingens Regina per urbes,

Teque novam vulgus credet adesse Deam,

Quaque feres gressus, adolebunt cynnama flammæ,

Cœsaque sanguineam victima planget humum.
