DITCH

dich: The word is used indiscriminately in the King James Version to represent at least three different ideas: a conduit or trench (2 Kings 3:16); a reservoir or cistern; or simply a pit or hole in the ground. In the Revised Version (British and American) this distinction is observed more carefully. Compare Job 9:31 Psalm 7:15 ("pit"), and Isaiah 22:11 ("reservoir"), the former meaning a pit or any similar place of destruction or corruption; the latter a reservoir or cistern of water. The New Testament usage (Matthew 15:14 the King James Version) corresponds somewhat with the former. See also 2 Kings 3:16 ("trenches").

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (n.) A trench made in the earth by digging, particularly a trench for draining wet land, for guarding or fencing enclosures, or for preventing an approach to a town or fortress. In the latter sense, it is called also a moat or a fosse.

2. (n.) Any long, narrow receptacle for water on the surface of the earth.

3. (v. t.) To dig a ditch or ditches in; to drain by a ditch or ditches; as, to ditch moist land.

4. (v. t.) To surround with a ditch.

5. (v. t.) To throw into a ditch; as, the engine was ditched and turned on its side.

6. (v. i.) To dig a ditch or ditches.
