The seventh blemish which the Holy Spirit has signified as disqualifying one for the priesthood is the crookbacked as the Authorized Version states it, or hunchback as most modern translations render. This man does not have a strong, straight backbone. He suffers from a crippling abnormal concave curvature of the spine which reduces height by forcing the spinal column into a horizontal bulge, as though it were pulled out of place by a mighty hand. It is no wonder that backbone has come to describe anything that provides primary stability and support. The spine is, in every sense, the backbone of the body.
