Exegesis
The imprecation formula ʾārūr ha-ʾîš ʾăšer-yōḵāl leḥem {אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יֹאכַל לֶחֶם | ʾārūr ha-ʾîš ʾăšer-yōḵāl leḥem} sets a covenantal boundary with “cursed is the man who eats food.”
In context — 1 Samuel 14:24
But the men of Israel were pressed that day, for Saul had bound the people under oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats food until evening when I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
