Haydock's commentary
Scandals, &c., (offensiones) that is, the abominations or idols, to the worship of which they were allured by their eyes. (Challoner)
Moses found them in this condition in Egypt, and he could not entirely reclaim them. (Calmet)
Many still secreted their idols, chap. xxiii. 1., and Acts vii. 42. (Haydock)
