DRAUGHT (Mat 15:17, Mar 7:19) and DRAUGHT HOUSE (Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘draught-house,’ 2Ki 10:27) both signify a privy or closet, which in the Mishna is ‘water-house.’ Jehu, according to the last-cited passage, turned the temple of Baal in Samaria into public latrines.

draft (ἀφεδρών, aphedrō̇n; Mat 15:17; Mar 7:19): “Closet,” “sink” or “privy” (Rheims), literally, “place for sitting apart” (compare 2Ki 10:27, “draught-house,” and Mishna “water-house”). According to the Mishna, Jehu turned the temple of Baal in Samaria into public latrines, “waterhouses.” Mark adds here (Mar 7:19) that by this saying Jesus cleansed all articles of food, i.e., declared them to be clean.
