1 Samuel 5:6 - Additional Comments

Here translated "tumors", in other version it is translated "hemorrhoids" or "emerods". The word is mentioned eight times in the King James Bible. It can be translated as hemorrhoids; tumors; raised up swellings. According to Strong's Hebrew dictionary, it implies a boil or ulcer, especially a tumor in the anus or rectum area.
In Deut 28:27, another group is penalized with this disease, but it describes more details, as "with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed".
This disease was deadly (vs 10-11).
