Subjects in this Topic:
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 man—a consumptive, perhaps.
