Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g3736 Greek: orusso

Dig, Dig Down:

"to dig, dig up soil, dig a pit," is said of a place for a winepress, Mat 21:33; Mar 12:1; of "digging" a pit for hiding something, Mat 25:18.

Notes:

(1) Diorusso, lit., "to dig through" (dia, "through"), is translated "to break through (or up)" in Mat 6:19, 20; 24:43; Luk 12:39.
See BREAK.

(2) Exorusso, lit., "to dig out," is translated "to break up" in Mar 2:4; "to pluck out (the eyes)" in Gal 4:15.
See BREAK, PLUCK.

2 Strong's Number: g4626 Greek: skapto

Dig, Dig Down:

primarily, "to dig, by way of hollowing out," hence, denotes "to dig." The root skap is seen in skapane, "a spade," skapetos, "a ditch," skaphe, "a boat," and in Eng., "scoop, skiff, and ship" (i.e., something hollowed out). The verb is found in Luk 6:48; 13:8; 16:3.

3 Strong's Number: g2679 Greek: kataskapto

Dig, Dig Down:

"to dig down" (kata, "down," and No. 2), is found in Rom 11:3; of altars, and in some mss. in Act 15:16, "ruins," lit., "the things dug down." Here the best texts have katastrepho, "to overthrow, overturn."
