| Judith 7:6 | Now Holofernes, in going round about, found that the fountain which supplied them with water, ran through an aqueduct without the city, on the south side: and he commanded their aqueduct to be cut off. | An aqueduct: the fountain must therefore have been on a higher ground than the city, though the latter was on an eminence. (Calmet) --- Yet water may be forced to ascend by pipes. (Haydock) |
