Gutter

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: G By: George A. Morrish

1. tsinnor, “waterspout or watercourse,” spoken of by David in reference to the attack upon the stronghold of the Jebusites in Jerusalem (2 Sam. 5:8⁸And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. (2 Samuel 5:8)).

2. rahat, water-trough for cattle (Gen. 30:38, 41³⁸And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. (Genesis 30:38)
⁴¹And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. (Genesis 30:41)).
