Verse 7 itself, unlike verse 8, does not mention widowhood, but the meaning of the syllables "yoni" (literally "seat, abode") have been rendered as "go up into the "dwelling"" (by Wilson), as "step into the "pyre"" (by Kane), as "mount the "womb"" (by Jamison/Brereton) and as "go up to "where he lieth"" (by Griffith). A reason given for the discrepancy in translation and interpretation of verse 10.18.7, is that one consonant in a word that meant house, "yonim agree" ("foremost to the "yoni""), was deliberately changed by those who wished claim scriptural justification, to a word that meant fire, "yomiagne".
