: Только не heathen, так как исторические Ироды не были язычниками. В большинстве они были иудеями. Еще дедушка Ирода Великого принял иудаизм. А делом жизни самого Ирода Великого было восстановление Иерусалимского храма.

Faulty logic which stems from a lack of understanding: "heathen" - n. chiefly derogatory a person who does not belong to a widely held religion (esp. one who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim) as regarded by those who do.

Herod's offspring
Здесь, скорее всего, имеются в виду люди, отличающиеся такой же жестокостью и коварством, как библейский царь Ирод, который хотел убить Младенца Иисуса. Другой из Иродов велел обезглавить Иоанна Крестителя. Семейство это было весьма многочисленным.

God's punishment to Herod was painful death and intolerable pangs of remorse. The church tradition says that he was eaten alive by worms. The ancient historian Josephus wrote Josephus wrote about Herod the Great: "He had a fever, though not a raging fever, an intolerable itching of the whole skin, continuous pains in the intestines, tumors of the feet as in dropsy, inflamation of the abdomen, and gangrene of the privy parts."

То есть в Вашем тексте проклинающий "Иродово племя" желает им примерно такой же мучительной смерти.
