Hebrew Alignment(Vox): Curses (me-ka-le-lcha or a-or) Gen 12:3

Keyword:  mekalelcha  מְקַלֶּלְךָ  /  aor אָאֹר 

In Gen. 12:3
“And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse.”

The first word for “curses” – מְקַלֶּלְךָ  (mekalelcha) comes from a root that literally means “to make light of something heavy.” 

The second word for “curse,” אָאֹר  (aor), actually comes from a completely different root that means something like “to utterly destroy.”

A better rendering of the English would be:“I will bless those who bless you, but the one who disrespects you, I will utterly destroy.”
