<p> <strong> DRAUGHT </strong> ( Matthew 15:17 , Mark 7:19 ) and <strong> DRAUGHT HOUSE </strong> (Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘draught-house,’ 2 Kings 10:27 ) both signify a privy or closet, which in the [[Mishna]] is ‘water-house.’ Jehu, according to the last-cited passage, turned the temple of [[Baal]] in [[Samaria]] into public latrines. </p>

<p> A cesspool or receptacle for filth, 2 Kings 10:27; Matthew 15:17 . Also, all the fishes taken at one drawing of a net, Luke 5:9 . </p>

<p> '''''draft''''' ( ἀφεδρών , <i> '''''aphedrō̇n''''' </i> ; Matthew 15:17; Mark 7:19 ): "Closet," "sink" or "privy" (Rheims), literally, "place for sitting apart" (compare 2 Kings 10:27 , "draught-house," and Mishna "water-house"). According to the Mishna, [[Jehu]] turned the temple of Baal in Samaria into public <i> latrines </i> , "waterhouses." Mark adds here (Mark 7:19 ) that by this saying Jesus cleansed all articles of food, i.e., declared them to be clean. </p>
