Exegesis
The infinitive lēʼmōr {לֵאמֹר | lēʼmōr} ‘saying’ marks direct speech leading into the curse formula composed of ʾārūr {אָרוּר | ʾārūr} ‘cursed,’ nōṯēn {נֹתֵן | nōṯēn} ‘the one who gives,’ ʾīššāh {אִשָּׁה | ʾīššāh} ‘a wife,’ and leḇinyāmîn {לְבִנְיָמִֽן | leḇinyāmîn} ‘to Benjamin.’ The Hebrew word order presents the prohibition before its rationale and culminates in the solemn oath-formula, highlighting communal covenant commitment.
In context — Judges 21:18
And we are not able to give them wives from our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, “Cursed is the one who gives a wife to Benjamin.”
