$
(or
) (
=
"
, 1670), “to draw,” differs from
$
, as “drawing” does
from violent “dragging.” It is used of “drawing” a net, John 21:6, 11 (cf. No. 1, in v. 8),
Trench remarks, “At vv. 6 and 11
(or
$
) is used; for there a
(
of the net
to a certain point is intended; by the disciples to themselves in the ship, by Peter to
himself upon the shore. But at v. 8
gives place to
$
: for nothing is there intended
but the
of the net, which had been fastened to the ship, after it through the
water” (
- !
, Sec.xxi).
This less violent significance, usually present in
, but always absent from
$
,
is seen in the metaphorical use of
, to signify “drawing” by inward power, by divine
impulse, John 6:44; 12:32. So in the Sept., e.g., Song of Sol. 1:4, and Jer. 31:3, “with
lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” It is used of a more vigorous action, in John 18:10, of
“drawing” a sword; in Acts 16:19; 21:30, of forcibly “drawing” men to or from a place;
so in Jas. 2:6,
KJV
, “draw,”
RV
, “drag.” See

DRAGON
(

, 1404) denoted “a mythical monster, a dragon”; also a large serpent,

Twelve times in the Apocalypse it is used of the Devil 12:3-4, 7, 9, 13, 16-17; 13:2, 4, 11;
16:13; 20:2.¶
