* eat bread.
16 31:54
* for that is an abomination.
The Chaldee Paraphrast renders this clause, "Because the
Hebrews eat the cattle which the Egyptians worship." But, as
we learn from ver. 16, compared with this verse, that the
provision for the entertainment of the Egyptians themselves
was animal food, this reason cannot be just. The true reason
seems to be that assigned by the LXX., [Bedlyma gar estin tois
Aigyptiois pas poim(826e) probaton:] "For every shepherd is an
abomination to the Egyptians."
46:34 Ex 8:26
