Videtur juxta consequentiam sermonis et idolorum, quibus hæ gentes prius servierant, hic posse vocabula intelligi, quia cum dictum esset: Et unaquæque gens fabricata est Deum suum, quasi ad expletionem sententiæ subjunctum est: Viri enim Babylonici fecerunt Sochoth Benoth; id est tabernacula: Benoth, quod est nomen idoli. In sequentibus ostenditur Adramalech et Anamelech idola fuisse urbis Sepharvaim, ita videtur consequens ut et Nergel Cuthenorum, Asima Emathæorum, Nebahath et Tharthach idola fuerunt Hevæorum.
