DWARF is the rendering in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] of daq , a word ( Leviticus 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.
