The term "draweth" is an archaic form of the verb "draw," often used in the King James Version and other older translations of the Bible. It generally means to pull or to bring near. In the context of Scripture, "draweth" can refer to physical movement, spiritual attraction, or the passage of time. Below are some key instances and themes associated with the term "draweth" in the Bible, using the Berean Standard Bible where applicable.

1.Physical Movement and Proximity:
· In the Old Testament, "draweth" is often used to describe physical movement or the approach of something or someone. For example, inGenesis 19:9, the men of Sodom say to Lot, "This one came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We will deal worse with you than with them.” They pressed hard against Lot and came close to breaking down the door. Here, the term implies a physical approach with intent.

2.Spiritual Drawing:
· The concept of God drawing individuals to Himself is a significant theme in the Bible. InJohn 6:44 , Jesus states, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day." This indicates a divine initiative in the process of salvation, where God actively draws people to Christ.

3.The Passage of Time:
· "Draweth" is also used to describe the passage of time, particularly in eschatological contexts. InJames 5:8 , believers are encouraged to be patient and stand firm, "because the Lord’s coming is near." The term here underscores the imminence of the Lord's return, urging believers to live in readiness and anticipation.

4.Emotional and Relational Drawing:
· The Bible also uses "draweth" in the context of relationships and emotions. InSong of Solomon 1:4 , the bride says, "Draw me after you; let us run. The king has brought me into his chambers." This reflects a deep desire for closeness and intimacy, symbolizing the relationship between God and His people.

5.Judgment and Deliverance:
· In prophetic literature, "draweth" can signify the approach of judgment or deliverance. InIsaiah 13:6 , the prophet declares, "Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty." Here, the term is a warning of impending divine judgment, calling people to repentance.

6.Covenantal Promises:
· The drawing of God is often linked to His covenantal promises. InJeremiah 31:3 , God affirms His everlasting love for Israel, saying, "I have drawn you with loving devotion." This highlights God's faithfulness and the assurance of His promises to His people.

In summary, the term "draweth" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings from physical movement to spiritual attraction, the passage of time, and relational intimacy. It is a term rich with theological significance, reflecting God's initiative in salvation, the imminence of His return, and the depth of His covenantal love.
