Description

This query retrieves all instances of the Hebrew root קָבָה, which appears in biblical passages related to ritual cursing. The term often implies a formal, binding curse, as seen in Numbers 22:11, where Balak requests Balaam to curse Israel. By running this query, we can analyze the distribution of קָבָה across the Hebrew Bible and determine in which contexts it is used, whether in legal, prophetic, or adversarial settings. The results contribute to understanding the biblical concept of cursing and how it contrasts with divine blessing.
