Ireneus (Orda)
At the same time, he had become the object of scorn for the most contemptible individuals, and his faith in God transformed him: what transpired was the complete antithesis of what might have been anticipated.
And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
הַקֹּטְפִ֣ים מַלּ֣וּחַ עֲלֵי־שִׂ֑יחַ וְשֹׁ֖רֶשׁ רְתָמִ֣ים לַחְמָֽם׃
