Variantly: And you murmured in your tents": We are hereby taught that they sat in their dwellings and cried like mourners, taking their sons and saying to them: "Woe unto you, afflicted ones!" "Woe unto you, tortured ones!" "Tomorrow they will nail you to the stake!" And they would take their daughters and say to them: "Woe to you, afflicted ones!" "Woe to you, tortured ones!" "Tomorrow they will kill (numbers) of you and take captive (numbers) of you, and stand up (numbers) of you to shame!" (Devarim, Ibid.)
