Lamentations 4:10

Context

י (Yod)

4:10 The hands of tenderhearted women 1 

cooked their own children,

who became their food, 2 

when my people 3  were destroyed. 4 

1 tn Heb “the hands of compassionate women.”

2 tn Heb “eating.” The infinitive construct (from I בָּרָה, barah) is translated as a noun. Three passages employ the verb (2 Sam 3:35; 12:17; 13:5,6,10) for eating when ill or in mourning.

3 tn Heb “the daughter of my people.”

4 tn Heb “in the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
