It is a term that underscores the intricate process of life formation, highlighting the divine orchestration of human development. The word is used in a manner that reflects the ancient understanding of reproduction and the sanctity of life from its earliest stages. In the biblical narrative, the use of שִׁלְיָה can be seen as a testament to the value placed on life and the recognition of God's hand in the creation and nurturing of life even before birth. The term is not frequently used, which may indicate its specific application to discussions of birth and the miraculous nature of life.
