blemish, defect, physical imperfection
This term refers to a physical blemish or defect that disqualifies someone from service. In Daniel 1:4, it describes the requirement that young men chosen for the king's court be without any physical imperfection. The cross-linguistic evidence (Spanish defecto, French défaut) emphasizes the notion of a flaw or imperfection, whether visible or hidden, that would make someone unsuitable for select service.
