'Mothers' in the Bible

And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.

And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers' houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:

Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?

For this is what the Lord has said about the sons and daughters who come to birth in this place, and about their mothers who have given them birth, and about their fathers who have given life to them in this land:

They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.

We are children without fathers, our mothers are like widows.
