A DUG SHAFT — a well in the sense of a hole sunk to the water table, which you lower a vessel into; also a pit or cistern. The Samaritan woman's whole objection is built from this noun: 'you have nothing to draw with and the phrear is deep' (John 4:11). See pege for the pairing, which is the reason for cataloguing it separately. → first discussed at John 4:11
