Nehemiah 7:69

Verse 69. Their camels, four hundred thirty and five] After this verse St. Jerome has inserted the following words in the Vulgate: -

Hucusque refertur quid in commentario scriptum

fuerit; exin Nehemiae historia texitur.

"Thus far do the words extend which were written

in the register; what follows belongs to the

history of Nehemiah."

But this addition is not found either in the Hebrew or any of the ancient versions. It is wanting also in the Complutum and Paris Polyglots, but is in the Editio Prima of the Vulgate.
