Consumption - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

CONSUMPTION

kon-sump'-shun (shachepheth, "wasting away"):

One of the punishments which was to follow neglect or breach of the law. It may mean pulmonary consumption, which occurs frequently in Palestine; but from its association with fever in the texts, Leviticus 26:16; Deuteronomy 28:22, it is more likely to be the much more common condition of wasting and emaciation from prolonged or often recurring attacks of malarial fever.
