Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

(Some words not found in UHB: hands women/wives compassionate cooked children,their_own they_were to,food their,their in/on/at/with,destruction daughter_of people,my )

Here the women are represented by their “hands.” Because they were so hungry, women who had been compassionate in the past were no longer compassionate toward their children; instead they boiled them for food. Alternate translation: “Compassionate women” or “Women who had been compassionate in the past”

(Occurrence 0) they became their food

(Some words not found in UHB: hands women/wives compassionate cooked children,their_own they_were to,food their,their in/on/at/with,destruction daughter_of people,my )
