The Key Word — שִׁלְיָה, shilyahgenerated
The term שִׁלְיָה (shilyah) refers specifically to afterbirth, emphasizing the vulnerability of newborns. It is derived from a root related to a fetus or babe, highlighting the connection to childbirth and the most helpless stage of life.
In this verse, it underscores the desperation of a mother who, in extreme circumstances, considers consuming her own children. This usage evokes a powerful image of the consequences of siege and famine.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb יָצִ֥יק (ya.Tzik), meaning 'he will bring distress', governs the entire verse, with multiple phrases providing context. The structure emphasizes the conditions under which the mother will act, linking her actions directly to the siege and distress inflicted by the enemy.
The sentence is complex, with several noun phrases detailing what the mother will eat, and prepositional phrases indicating the circumstances of the siege and distress. This layered structure reflects the gravity of the situation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שִׁלְיָה as αὐτῆς (autēs), which means 'of her'. This choice narrows the focus to the mother's perspective, emphasizing her connection to the afterbirth and children.
The Greek word ἐχελθὸν (echelthon) used for 'goes forth' suggests a more dynamic action, perhaps indicating the urgency of the situation.

bar (dobh; compare Arabic dubb): In 1Sa 17:34-37, David tells Saul how as a shepherd boy he had overcome a lion and a bear. In 2Ki 2:24 it is related that two she bears came out of the wood and tore forty-two of the children who had been mocking Elisha. All the other references to bears are figurative; compare 2Sa 17:8; Pr 17:12; 28:15; Isa 11:7; 59:11; La 3:10; Da 7:5; Ho 13:8; Am 5:19;
Bear
A native of the mountain regions of Western Asia, frequently mentioned in Scripture. David defended his flocks against the attacks of a bear (1 Sam. 17:34-37). Bears came out of the wood and destroyed the children who mocked the prophet Elisha (2 Kings 2:24). Their habits are referred to in Isa. 59:11; Prov. 28:15; Lam. 3:10. The fury of the female bear when robbed of her young is spoken of (2 Sam. 17:8; Prov. 17:12; Hos. 13:8). In Daniel’s vision of the…
(1 Samuel 17:34; 2 Samuel 17:8) The Syrian bear, Ursus syriacus, which is without doubt the animal mentioned in the Bible, is still found on the higher mountains of Palestine. During the summer months these bears keep to the snowy parts of Lebanon, but descend in winter to the villages and Gardens. It is probable also that at this period in former days they extended their visits to other parts of Palestine.
That bears were common in Palestine appears from several passages in the Old Testament, 1Sa 17:34,36,37; 2Sa 17:8; 2Ki 2:24. The species known in Syria resembles the common brown bear; it is sill met in the recesses of Lebanon. To a sullen and ferocious disposition, the bear joins immense strength, considerable sagacity, and the power of climbing trees. Her ferocity, especially when her young are injured, is proverbial. See 2Sa 17:8; Pr 17:12; Isa 11:7; Ho 13:8.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
