Haydock's commentary
Lord. In this and the following verses, we are taught a lesson of humanity. (Tertullian)
The Romans did not offer sheep or goats till they were eight days old: though the Jews were at liberty to sacrifice them after that term, they generally waited till they were thirty days old. (Calmet)
