    18 And three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.

    19 In the night, this woman, sleeping on her child, was the cause of its death.

    21 And when I got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.
