               we draw it in a continued stream. We force compliance

      Syn: To {Draw}, {Drag}.
  
      Usage: Draw differs from drag in this, that drag implies a
                  natural inaptitude for drawing, or positive
                  resistance; it is applied to things pulled or hauled
                  along the ground, or moved with toil or difficulty.
                  Draw is applied to all bodies moved by force in
                  advance, whatever may be the degree of force; it
                  commonly implies that some kind of aptitude or
                  provision exists for drawing. Draw is the more general
                  or generic term, and drag the more specific. We say,
                  the horses draw a coach or wagon, but they drag it
                  through mire; yet draw is properly used in both cases.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Dor
      dwelling, the Dora of the Romans, an ancient royal city of the
      Canaanites (Josh. 11:1, 2; 12:23). It was the most southern
      settlement of the Phoenicians on the coast of Syria. The
      original inhabitants seem never to have been expelled, although
      they were made tributary by David. It was one of Solomon's
      commissariat districts (Judg. 1:27; 1 Kings 4:11). It has been
      identified with Tantura (so named from the supposed resemblance
      of its tower to a tantur, i.e., "a horn"). This tower fell in
      1895, and nothing remains but debris and foundation walls, the
      remains of an old Crusading fortress. It is about 8 miles north
      of Caesarea, "a sad and sickly hamlet of wretched huts on a
      naked sea-beach."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Dowry
      (mohar; i.e., price paid for a wife, Gen. 34:12; Ex. 22:17; 1
      Sam. 18:25), a nuptial present; some gift, as a sum of money,
      which the bridegroom offers to the father of his bride as a
      satisfaction before he can receive her. Jacob had no dowry to
      give for his wife, but he gave his services (Gen. 29:18; 30:20;
      34:12).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Dura
      the circle, the plain near Babylon in which Nebuchadnezzar set
      up a golden image, mentioned in Dan. 3:1. The place still
      retains its ancient name. On one of its many mounds the pedestal
      of what must have been a colossal statue has been found. It has
      been supposed to be that of the golden image.
