Then the priest shall charge the woman to take an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell;
All Commentaries on Numbers 5:21 Go To Numbers 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Curse. Hebrew, "an object of execration, and an oath", so that people can wish no greater misfortune to befall any one, than what thou shalt endure. (Haydock)
