דלקת

/daˈle.ket/ Modern Israeli

Where it comes from

From דְּלֵקָה (“burning”); so called due to the heat given off by an inflamed area, and sometimes by the whole body. (Compare English inflammation, and its relation to flame.) The word appears only once in the Bible (see quotation below), as part of a warning to the people of what will happen if they deviate from the path of Torah.

noun דַּלֶּקֶת · daléket · דַּלָּקוֹת

inflammation (a condition of any part of the body, consisting of congestion of the blood vessels, with obstruction of the blood current, and growth of morbid tissue) יַכְּכָה ה׳ בַּשַּׁחֶפֶת וּבַקַּדַּחַת וּבַדַּלֶּקֶת וּבַחַרְחֻר וּבַחֶרֶב וּבַשִּׁדָּפוֹן וּבַיֵּרָקוֹן וּרְדָפוּךָ עַד אָבְדֶךָ׃
Any instance of redness, even one that is not due to an immune response.

In English
