[1556] The readings vary, and the sense is doubtful. Thilo thinks that the sense is: What I offer over and above what the law requires is for the benefit of the whole people; but the offering I make for my own forgiveness (according to the law’s requirements) shall be to the Lord, that He may be rendered merciful to me.
[1557] The Church of Rome appoints March 20 as the Feast of St. Joachim. His liberality is commemorated in prayers, and the lessons to be read are Wisdom 31; Matt. 1.
[1558] 1 Sam. i. 6-7; Hos. ix. 14.
[1559] Another reading is: In his last days.
[1560] Another reading is: Into the hill-country.

[1570] One of themss.: With his shepherds, and sheep, and goats, and oxen.
