Exegesis
The dative feminine plural article tais {ταῖς | taîs} introduces the first group, further specified by the prepositional participial phrase en gastri echousais {ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις | en gas-trí e-khoú-sais} “having in the womb,” a periphrasis for “pregnant women.”
In context — Mark 13:17
But woe to the women who are with child and to those nursing in those days !
