Haydock's commentary
And provisions is not in Greek or Syriac. (Calmet)
Something was to be given for such feasts; (Deuteronomy xiv. 23.; Lyranus; Menochius) or people deposited in the temple their treasures; as all nations have judged that they would be there most secure. (Grotius; Tirinus; Calmet)
