DWARF. The tr. of דַּק, H1987, “thin,” “fine” (Lev 21:20) where physical handicaps which disqualify a descendant of Aaron from offering sacrifices are listed. The word is used of thin cows and ears of corn (Gen 41:3-7), of small, fine manna (Exod 16:14), of dust (Isa 29:5), and of a mere whisper (1 Kings 19:12). Although the exact meaning is not known, the idea of “withered” fits best (cf. BDB, p. 201—“thin, shrunk, withered”). The LXX and Vul. propose “eye defect,” but this is unlikely.
