and to the last of the children whom he has left, 55so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because he has nothing else left, fin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 gThe most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces, ▼▼Hebrew the husband of her bosom
