'Ground' in the Bible

and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

when, therefore, he said to them -- 'I am he,' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
