Pool. Pools, like the tanks of India, are in many parts of Palestine and Syria, the only resource for water, during the dry season, and the failure of them involves drought and calamity. Isaiah 42:15. Of the various pools mentioned in Scripture, perhaps the most celebrated are the pools of Solomon near Bethlehem called by the Arabs el-Burak, from which an aqueduct was carried, which still supplies Jerusalem with wafer. Ecclesiastes 2:6; Sirach 24:30-31.
