To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply;
these are the 2 drops of blood
unique to a woman, which cause her suffering,
1. the blood of menstruation
2. the blood of virginity.
Your pain this is the pain of raising children.
And your travail; this is the pain of pregnancy.
In sorrow you shall bring forth children
in accordance with its plain meaning,
this is the pain of childbirth.
And yet your desire shall be to your husband
teaches that the woman desires her husband,
when he sets out on the road.
