1. tumors, hemorrhoids — Plural noun (טְחֹרִים) denoting tumors or hemorrhoids, a pathological swelling associated with disease or plague. All occurrences appear in the narrative of the Philistine plague (Deut 28:27; 1 Sam 5-6), where YHWH struck the Philistines with tumors as judgment for capturing the Ark. The term appears in various inflected forms: with preposition ב ('with tumors'), with possessive suffixes ('your tumors,' 'their tumors'), and in construct state ('tumors of'), but all refer to the same medical condition. Cognate with Aramaic טְחוֹרַיָּא. The Ketiv/Qere alternation with עֹפֶל (H6076) in some passages reflects scribal sensibility about the term's graphic nature. 9×
