Afterbirth
Holman Bible Dictionary
The placenta and fetal membranes that are expelled after delivery. Disobedience to God will result in defeat in war which in turn will result in such a lack of food that women will seek nourishment from the most disgusting sources (Deuteronomy 28:57; compare 2 Kings 6:24-31; Lamentations 2:20; Lamentations 4:10 ).
