See GET, PART.
[ 7,,G501, antleo ]
signified, primarily, "to draw out a ship's bilgewater, to bale or pump out" (from antlos, "bilge-water"), hence, "to draw water" in any way (ana, "up," and a root, tel---, "to lift, bear"), John 2:8-John 2:9; John 4:7, John 4:15.

(B) In the sense of "approaching or withdrawing:"
[ 10,,G1448, engizo ]
"to come near, draw nigh" (akin to engus, "near"), is translated by the verb "draw near or nigh," in the RV, Luke 12:33, AV, "approacheth;" Hebrews 10:25, AV, "approaching;" Luke 18:35; Luke 19:29, Luke 19:37; Acts 22:6, AV, "was come nigh;" Luke 7:12, "came nigh;" Acts 9:3, "came near."

[ 13,,G5288, hupostello ]
"to draw back, withdraw," perhaps a metaphor from lowering a sail and so slackening the course, and hence of being remiss in holding the truth; in the Active Voice, rendered "drew back" in Galatians 2:12, RV (AV, "withdrew"); in the Middle, in Hebrews 10:38, "shrink back" RV (AV, "draw back"); the prefix hupo, "underneath," is here suggestive of stealth.
