Wen (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

Only in Leviticus 22:22 , "maimed" or "having a wen (margin "sores"), or scurvy," for (יבּל , yabbāl ), "running," hence, "a suppurating sore" (compare the Revised Version margin). A "wen" is a non-inflamed indolent tumor, and so "wen" is about as far as possible from the meaning of the Hebrew.
