Dict: easton - Highway

easton:

Highway @ a raised road for public use. Such roads were not found in Palestine; hence the force of the language used to describe the return of the captives and the advent of the Messiah kjv@Isaiah:11:16 kjv@Isaiah:35:8 kjv@Isaiah:40:3 ; 62:10) under the figure of the preparation of a grand thoroughfare for their march. During their possession of Palestine the Romans constructed several important highways, as they did in all countries which they ruled.
