## Bishop Challoner's notes

Bp. Richard Challoner, notes on the Douay-Rheims (1750); they comment on its older wording.
- Verse 7: “Achar” … Alias Achan. Jos. 7.-- Ibid.
- Verse 7: The thing devoted or accursed, viz., the spoils of Jericho.
- Verse 10: “Ram” … He is commonly called Aram. But it is to be observed here, once for all, that it was a common thing among the Hebrews for the same persons to have different names: and that it is not impossible among so many proper names, as here occur in the first nine chapters of this book, that the transcribers of the ancient Hebrew copies may have made some slips in the orthography.
- Verse 18: “Caleb” … Alias Calubi, ver. 9.
- Verse 52: The Latin interpreter seems to have given us here, instead of the proper names, the meaning of those names in the Hebrew. He has done in like manner, ver. 55.
