/b/birth-stool.htm - 7k International Standard Bible Encyclopedia BIRTH-STOOLburth'-stool: Found only in Exodus 1:16, in connection with Hebrew women in Egypt when oppressed by Pharaoh. The Hebrew ('obhnayim) here rendered "birth-stool" is used in Jeremiah 18:3, and is there rendered "potter's wheel."

See STOOL.
