Strong's Lexicon shilyah: Afterbirth, placenta Original Word: שִׁלְיָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to draw out or extract Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "shilyah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of the placenta is not explicitly mentioned in the New Testament. However, the Greek word "γαστήρ" (gaster, Strong's Greek 1064), meaning "womb," can be related in terms of the broader context of childbirth and maternal imagery. Usage: The Hebrew word "shilyah" refers to the afterbirth or placenta, the organ that nourishes and maintains the fetus through the umbilical cord during pregnancy. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe the physical aspect of childbirth, emphasizing the completeness and miraculous nature of God's creation and the process of birth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, childbirth was considered a significant event, often associated with divine intervention and blessing. The placenta, or afterbirth, was seen as a symbol of the life-giving process and the nurturing aspect of God's creation. The mention of "shilyah" in the Bible underscores the importance of recognizing God's hand in the miracle of life and the continuation of the family lineage, which was central to the Hebrew understanding of God's covenant with His people.
