Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

(A) In the sense of "dragging, pulling, or attracting:"

1 Strong's Number: g307 Greek: anabibazo

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

a causal form of anabaino, "to go up," denotes, lit., "to make go up, cause to ascend" (ana, "up," bibazo, "to cause to mount"), hence, "to draw a boat up on land," Mat 13:48.

2 Strong's Number: g1670 Greek: helko

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

is translated "to draw" in the AV, of Act 21:30; Jam 2:6; see DRAG, No. 2.

See DRAG, No. 1.

5 Strong's Number: g385 Greek: anaspao

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

ana, "up," and No. 4, "to draw up," is used of "drawing" up an animal out of a pit, Luk 14:5 (RV, "draw up;" AV, "pull out"), and of the "drawing" up of the sheet into heaven, in the vision in Act 11:10.

6 Strong's Number: g645 Greek: apospao

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

apo, "from," and No. 4, "to draw away," lit., "to wrench away from," is used of a sword, Mat 26:51; of "drawing" away disciples into error, Acts 20:30; of Christ's "withdrawal" from the disciples, in Gethsemane, Luk 22:41, AV, "was withdrawn," RV, "was parted" (or "was reft away from them"); of "parting" from a company, Act 21:1 (AV, "were gotten," RV, "were parted").
See GET, PART.

7 Strong's Number: g501 Greek: antleo

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

signified, primarily, "to draw out a ship's bilgewater, to bale or pump out" (from antlos, "bilge-water"), hence, "to draw water" in any way (ana, "up," and a root, tel--, "to lift, bear"), Jhn 2:8, 9; 4:7, 15.

Note: In Jhn 4:11, "to draw with" translates the corresponding noun antlema, "a bucket for drawing water by a rope."

8 Strong's Number: g1828 Greek: exelko

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

ek, "out of," and No. 2, "to draw away, or lure forth," is used metaphorically in Jam 1:14, of being "drawn away" by lust. As in hunting or fishing the game is "lured" from its haunt, so man's lust "allures" him from the safety of his self-restraint.

9 Strong's Number: g392 Greek: anatassomai

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

"to arrange in order," is used in Luk 1:1; RV, "to draw up" (some interpret the word to mean to "bring together" from memory assisted by the Holy Spirit).



(B) In the sense of "approaching or withdrawing:"

10 Strong's Number: g1448 Greek: engizo

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

"to come near, draw nigh" (akin to engus, "near"), is translated by the verb "draw near or nigh," in the RV, Luk 12:33, AV, "approacheth;" Hbr 10:25, AV, "approaching;" Luk 18:35; 19:29, 37; Act 22:6, AV, "was come nigh;" Luk 7:12, "came nigh;" Act 9:3, "came near."

See COME, GO.

12 Strong's Number: g4317 Greek: prosago

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

used transitively, "to bring to;" intransitively, "to draw near," is so rendered in Act 27:27.
See BRING.

13 Strong's Number: g5288 Greek: hupostello

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

"to draw back, withdraw," perhaps a metaphor from lowering a sail and so slackening the course, and hence of being remiss in holding the truth; in the Active Voice, rendered "drew back" in Gal 2:12, RV (AV, "withdrew"); in the Middle, in Hbr 10:38, "shrink back" RV (AV, "draw back"); the prefix hupo, "underneath," is here suggestive of stealth. In ver. 39 the corresponding noun, hupostole, is translated "of them that shrink back," RV; AV "draw back" (lit. "of shrinking back"). In Act 20:20, 27, "shrank," RV.
See KEEP, Note (6), SHRINK, SHUN, WITHDRAW.

See BECOME.

16 Strong's Number: g2020 Greek: epihosko

Draw (Away, Back, Nigh, On, Out, Up):

"to dawn" (lit., "to make to shine upon"), is said of the approach of the Sabbath, Luk 23:54 (marg., "began to dawn"); cp. Mat 28:1.
See DAWN, A, No. 3.

Notes:

(1) In Mar 6:53, prosormizo, "to bring a ship (or boat) to anchor, cast anchor, land at a place" (pros, "to," hormizo, "to moor, bring to anchorage"), is translated "moored to the shore," in the RV, for AV, "drew."

(2) In Act 19:33, where the most authentic mss. have sumbibazo, the RV translates it "brought" (marg., "instructed"), AV, "draw out." Some mss. have probibazo, "to bring or drag forward."
See BRING, No. 24.
