Dwarf
VIEW:47 DATA:01-04-2020
DWARF is the rendering in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] of daq, a word (Lev_21:20) denoting one of the physical disqualifications by which a priest was unfitted for service. The word means thin, lean, small. The conjecture that it here means a dwarf is plausible. But others regard it as meaning an unnaturally thin mana consumptive, perhaps.

dwôrf: The rendering in English Versions of the Bible of the Hebrew word דּק, daḳ, ?thin,? ?small,? in Lev_21:20, where a list is given of physical failings which forbade man of the seed of Aaron to officiate at the altar, though he might partake of the sacrificial gifts. The precise meaning of the Hebrew word here is uncertain; elsewhere it is used of the lean kine (Gen_41:3) and blasted ears (Lev_21:23) of Pharaoh's dream; of the grains of manna (Exo_16:14), of the still, small voice (1Ki_19:12), of dust (Isa_29:5), etc. Septuagint and Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 ad) suggest defective eyes; but ?withered? would perhaps best express the meaning. See PRIESTS AND LEVITES.
