Lisowski lists 14 times for meaning of “dig”, 4 times for “purchase”
(business transaction) and once “to make a feast”. He listed Job 6:27 under
“purchase”.

I am not you, and I use it occasionally as a close synonym of “to provide”.

I found it listed in Lisowski’s concordance, in the pilel in 2 Samuel 6:14,
16.

As for its conjugation, without points it can be from KRH, KRR, NCR of verbs
attested to in Tanakh, Context should tell us which meaning to use.
