Dig [1]
( קוּר , ḳūr , "to dig", חתר , ḥāthar ; διορύσσω , diorússō , "to dig through"): "I have digged (dug) and drunk strange waters" ( 2 Kings 19:24 ). In his campaigns on foreign soil, where the enemy had stopped up the watersprings, Sennacherib would at once dig fresh wells for his armies. "They dig through houses" ( Job 24:16; Matthew 6:19 , Matthew 6:20 margin). Walls of eastern houses are often made of mud or clay, and frequently have no windows; and as the threshold of a Syrian house is sacred, the thief breaks in through the wall (see Trumbull, The Threshold Covenant ).
