dis -til ´: Only found twice in the English Bible (Deuteronomy 32:2; Job 36:27 ), in both cases in its original meaning of "to fall in drops," as dew or rain (derived through French from Latin de , "down," stillo , "to drop"). It does not occur in its later technical sense, for the process we call distilllation was not known in ancient times.
