THE AFTERBIRTH — the placenta, that comes out from between her feet. ⭐ The noun stands in one verse of the Hebrew Bible, Deuteronomy 28:57, in the curse’s worst sentence: the delicate woman’s eye turns evil toward her afterbirth … and toward her children whom she bears, for she will eat them, in want of everything, in secret. ⚠ The KJV and ASV read ‘her young one’, softening it; the Douay ‘the filth of the afterbirths’, the Geneva, NIV and NWT 1984 ‘afterbirth’; the RV 1909 reads «su chiquita», her little girl, the RV60 «al recién nacido», the NVI and TNM 2019 «placenta», the TNM 1987 «secundinas». Lamentations 2:20 and 4:10 and 2 Kings 6:28–29 report the thing itself. → first discussed at Deut 28:57
