1. sense 1 — Translations consistently render this as 'pregnant women' with possessive suffix: English 'their pregnant women,' Spanish 'sus embarazadas.' The Assyrian cognate 'êriiâtê' provides linguistic parallel. Hosea 13:16 uses this in describing Samaria's coming judgment, where military invasion will bring complete devastation including the horrific targeting of expectant mothers. 1×
