Exegesis

yeladim {יְלָדִ֣ים | yə-lā-ḏîm} ‘children’ is modified by the relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁ֣ר | ʾă-šer} ‘who’, introducing the negated predicate ein-bahem {אֵֽין־בָּהֶ֣ם | ʾên-bā-hêm} ‘there is not in them’ governing kol-maum mum {כָּל־מאום מוּם | kāl-mā-ʼūm mūm} ‘any blemish’.

In contextDaniel 1:4
