53And thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thine own bodyH1320, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, whom Jehovah thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee, in the siegeH4692 and in the distressH4689 wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH4689 thee. 54The manH376 that is tenderH7390 among you, and veryH3966 delicateH6028, his eyeH5869 shall be evilH7489 toward his brotherH251, and toward the wifeH802 of his bosomH2436, and toward the remnant of his children whom he hath remainingH3498; 55so that he will not giveH5414 to any of them of the fleshH1320 of his children whom he shall eatH398, because he hath nothing leftH7604 him, in the siegeH4692 and in the distressH4689 wherewith thine enemyH341 shall distressH4689 thee in all thy gatesH8179. 56The tenderH7390 and delicateH6028 woman among you, who would not adventure to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 upon the groundH776 for delicateness and tenderness, her eyeH5869 shall be evilH7489 toward the husbandH376 of her bosomH2436, and toward her sonH1121, and toward her daughterH1323, 57and toward her youngH1121 one that cometh out from between her feetH7272, and toward her children whom she shall bearH3205; for she shall eatH398 them for want of all things secretly, in the siegeH4692 and in the distressH4689 wherewith thine enemyH341 shall distressH4689 thee in thy gatesH8179.
