Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:27

Theological / Devotional

Botch. Or “boil.” The word thus translated is from a root meaning “to be hot,” “to be inflamed” (see Deut. 28:35; Ex. 9:9-11; Lev. 13:18-23; 2 Kings 20:7; Job 2:7; Isa. 38:21).

Emerods. Literally, “swellings,” usually understood to refer to hemorrhoidal swellings in the anus. Some have suggested “tumors” (see 1 Sam. 5:6, 9, 12).
