This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
40. πρασιαί. Lit. “garden-beds” (Sir 24:31) or “plots.” The word indicates the shape of the “messes,” and perhaps implies that they were rectangular (Euthym.). See Wetstein for illustrations and cf. Exo 8:14.
κατὰ ἑκατὸν κ. κ. π. All four give the total as 5000 males, which would easily be estimated by counting the συμπόσια.
