For, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within me leapt for joy.

For, truly, when the sound of your voice came to my ears, the baby in my body made a sudden move for joy.

the babe leaped in my womb for joy; that the mother of her Lord, and his, was come thither: the Jews ought not to object to this, who affirm, that the embryos, or infants in their mother's womb, sung the song at the Red Sea, and praised God. (i).
