Mildew [1]
mil´dū ( ירקון , yērāḳōn ; Septuagint usually ἴκτερος , ı́kteros , literally, "jaundice"): In the 5 passages where it occurs it is associated with shiddāphōn , "blasting" ( Deuteronomy 28:22; 1 Kings 8:37; 2 Chronicles 6:28; Amos 4:9; Haggai 2:17 ). In Jeremiah 30:6 , the same word is translated "paleness," the yellow color of one with abdominal disease. The root-meaning is "greenish yellow"; compare the Arabic yarḳān , meaning both "jaundice" and "blight." Mildrew or "rust" in grain is due to a special fungus, Puccinia graminis , whose life is divided between the barberry and cereals. Many other varieties of fungi which flourish upon other plants are also designated "mildew." See Blasting .
