in-fla-mā ́shun (דּלּקת, dalleḳeth; ῥῖγος, rhígos): Only in Deuteronomy 28:22, was considered by Jewish writers as “burning fever,” by Septuagint as a form of ague. Both this and typhoid fever are now, and probably were, among the commonest of the diseases of Palestine. See FEVER. In Leviticus 13:28 the King James Version has “inflammation” as the rendering of cārebheth, which the Septuagint reads charaktḗr, and for which the proper English equivalent is “scar,” as in the Revised Version.
