Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The expressions in {D:23.181} and {D:23.182} all refer to a menstrual flow of blood, but the phrases πηγὴ αἵματος and ῥύσις αἵματος seem to be restricted primarily to this meaning, while αἱμορροέω in non-biblical contexts means simply to suffer a loss of blood or to bleed, but it may, of course, refer to menstrual bleeding. Because of the wider range of reference in αἱμορροέω, this term has been listed separately.'}

         DefinitionShort: a source of water flowing onto the surface or into a pool somewhat below ground level

         Glosses: spring

         Comments: πηγή[a] spring differs from {L:φρέαρ}[a] and {L:πηγή}[b] well (see {D:7.57}) in that a πηγή[a] is normally a natural source of water, in contrast with {L:φρέαρ}[a] and {L:πηγή}[b], which are dug and into which a πηγή[a] may be said to flow.

         DefinitionShort: deep constructions, often walled with stone, at the bottom of which was a pool of water

         Glosses: well

         Comments: If there was a relatively ready flow of water, a well could very appropriately be called a {L:πηγή}[a] 'spring,' {D:1.78} (and this may be the reason for {L:πηγή}[a]. However, both terms are used interchangeably in certain contexts; compare, for example, πηγή in {S:04300400600036} and {L:φρέαρ} in {S:04300401100022}, both referring to Jacob’s well at Sychar.
