*
And you shall eat the offspring of your own body ,
the flesh of your sons and daughters ,
whom the LORD your God has given you ,
in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you .
*
The man who is the most tender and delicately bred among you will grudge food to his brother ,
to the wife of his bosom ,
and to the last of the children who remain to him ;
*
so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating ,
because he has nothing left him ,
in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns .
*
The most tender and delicately bred woman among you ,
who would not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground because she is so delicate and tender ,
will grudge to the husband of her bosom ,
to her son and to her daughter ,
*
her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears ,
because she will eat them secretly ,
for want of all things ,
in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns .
* "
If you are not careful to do all the words of this law which are written in this book ,
that you may fear this glorious and awful name ,
the LORD your God ,
