Haydock's commentary
On verses 26 to 27
Seirath seems to have been on the road from Galgal to Mount Ephraim. Some conjecture that Josephus speaks of it under the name of Syriad, (Calmet) where he saw the inscriptions, which he asserts were left by the children of Seth before the deluge. (Haydock)
They might perhaps be the idols which are mentioned here.
