You should add those to the wikipedia table.

A partially knitted sweater isn’t a sweater, those don’t imply to me that the bible is saying anything about the moral relevance of fetuses in those verses. If they do it has very concerning implications for miscarriages (he starts knitting them but then says “actually i don’t want that person to exist”). An all-knowing god would know exactly which fetuses would get aborted and not put as much into knitting them, anymore than someone knitting a sweater that they know would get destroyed after they knit a few lines wouldn’t get too excited about it either.

And for someone who claims to not author confusion, there’s a lot of confusion around exactly what it’s saying here about the moral relevance of fetuses, given we’ve both interpretted it to mean almost opposite things
