Womb. Grace has prevented them. (Haydock)
They are free from evil dispositions, Wisdom viii. 19., and Job xxxi. 18.
Women; feminis, or rather seminis. (Calmet)
Greek, "it shall be intrusted to their seed." (Haydock)
"His mercy is fixed with their seed." (Syriac) (Menochius)
This includes both men and women.
