Haydock's commentary
Enlarge. Greek, "fortify."
Conversation. Greek, "when in the midst of the people, coming out of the house of the veil. (6.) He," &c. (Haydock)
Leaving the most holy place, he was surrounded by crowds of sacred ministers, (ver. 14.) or rather on the day of expiation, he came into the court of the people, to purify them. (Calmet)
