MILDEW
Mildew
(, yerakon’, greenness, i.e., pallor, as the paleness by affright, Jer 30:6) is properly a species of fungus or parasitic plant generated by moisture, and corrosive of the surface to which it adheres. In Scripture it is applied to grain, and refers to the pale green or yellowish color indicative of fading or withering of plants (Deu 28:22; 1Ki 8:37; 2Ch 6:28; Amo 4:9; Hag 2:17; in all which passages it is connected with blasting). The Arabic applies the word yerakon to human beings as well as to corn, and thus describes the disease called in Europe yellow jaundice. Forskal was informed in Arabia by a Jew that it was the general opinion there that it is a mild breeze, dangerous to the corn, by which the ears are turned yellow. SEE LEPROSY.

(the rendering of a Hebrew word meaning “to be yellow,” yellowness), the result of cutting east winds blighting and thus rendering the grain unproductive (Deut. 28:22; 1 Kings 8:37; 2 Chr. 6:28).

MILDEW (yrqn, Deu 28:22, 1Ki 8:37, 2Ch 6:28, Amo 4:9, Hag 2:17) is a disease of grain due to various fungi: it is produced by damp, and is in the above passages associated with shiddphn, blasting, the opposite condition produced by excessive drought.

Mildew
mildu (, yerakon; Septuagint usually , kteros, literally, jaundice): In the 5 passages where it occurs it is associated with shiddaphon, blasting (Deu 28:22; 1Ki 8:37; 2Ch 6:28; Amo 4:9; Hag 2:17). In Jer 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 yarkan, 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.
