Exegesis
The phrase livnei bitni {לִבְנֵי בִטְנִי | libnê ḇiṭnî} is a construct chain expressing intimate blood kinship—an idiom for closest relatives rather than literal offspring—and is translated “children of my own body” to capture this nuance.
In context — Job 19:17
My breath is strange to my wife, yet my pleading is to the children of my own body .
