It's called the "curse of sin and death"....Jesus took upon himself the curse...as it is written "cursed is anyone who is hung on a tree
Deuteronomy 21 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²² And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
²³ His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God
that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
....also there are the "generational curses" that are passed on to the children up to 4 generations.
The Bible mentions “generational curses” in several places (
Exodus 20:5;
34:7;
Numbers 14:18;
Deuteronomy 5:9). God warns that He is “a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.”
