Amos 9:6

Ascension, or his high throne. (Challoner) --- Septuagint, "the ascent, and hath founded the declarations (Haydock) or promise upon," &c., which must be explained in a moral sense. (Calmet) --- Bundle. That is, his Church, bound up together by the bands of one faith and communion, (Challoner) which God will protect, and punish sinners. (Worthington) --- Hebrew, "his apartments in heaven, and his assembly ( or footstool) on earth." --- Sea, by floods, or rather by rain, chap. v. 8. (Calmet)
