A mass of dilated veins and swollen tissue in the vicinity of the anus. The KJV translators understood the affliction of Deuteronomy 28:27; 1Samuel 5:6,1Samuel 5:9,1 Samuel 5:12 as hemorrhoids (or emerods). Modern versions are divided in their understanding of the term in Deuteronomy. Some take a reference to tumors (NAS, NIV, REB). Others find a reference to sores (TEV) or ulcers (NRSV). Modern versions agree that the affliction of 1Samuel was tumors, probably associated with bubonic plague.
