Chin,
Shiliao,
75, partly following
TR,
225; Wu and Luo, "Yinshu," 283, point out the misprint in the original printing of
wang
(king) for
ju
(lord), and note that Chin Yii- fu mistakenly puts this passage under chap. 15 of Genesis.

tai
in its two different senses here, first as "womb" and then as "fetus."
