They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food.

They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.

εκοπτον μολοχην πλησιον των θαμνων και την ριζαν των αρκευθων δια τροφην αυτων.

Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
