Dust: Storms of sand and dust sometimes overtake Eastern travellers. They are very dreadful, many perishing under them. Jehovah threatens to bring on the land of Israel, as a punishment for forsaking him, a rain of "powder and dust" (Deuteronomy 28:24) To cast dust on the head was a sign of mourning (Joshua 7:6) and to sit in dust, of extreme affliction (Isaiah 47:1) "Dust" is used to denote the grave (Job 7:21) "To shake off the dust from one's feet" against another is to renounce all future intercourse with him (Matthew 10:14; Acts 13:51) To "lick the dust" is a sign of abject submission (Psalms 72:9) and to throw dust at one is a sign of abhorrence (2 Samuel 16:13) comp. (Acts 22:23)
