DEUTERONOMY 28:55 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.”
He will not share with any of them the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because nothing else remains to him in the desperate straits to which the enemy siege has reduced you in all your towns — parents hoard 'flesh of his children' ('bessar banav asher yochal'): siege produces absolute self-interest. No sharing; no mercy.
