POUR,

1. To throw, as a fluid in a stream, either out of a vessel, or into it as, to pour water from a pail, or out of a pail to pour wine into a decanter. Pour is appropriately but not exclusively applied to fluids, and signifies merely to cast or throw, and this sense is modified by out, from, in, into, against, on, upon, under, &c. It is applied not only to liquors, but to other fluids, and to substances consisting of fine particles as, to pour a stream of gas or air upon a fire to pour out sand. It expresses particularly the bestowing or sending forth in copious abundance.

I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Joel 2 .

To pour out dust. Lex 14

2. To emit to send forth in a stream or continued succession.

London doth pout out her citizens.

3. To send forth as, to pour out words, prayers or sighs to pour out the heart or soul. Psalms 62:42 .
4. To throw in profusion or with overwhelming force.

I will shortly pour out my fury on thee. Ezekiel 7

POUR, To flow to issue forth in a stream, or continued succession of parts to move or rush, as a current. The torrent pours down from the mountain, or along the steep descent.

1. To rush in a crowd or continued procession.

A ghastly band of giants,

All pouring down the mountain, crowd the shore.
