Dict: easton - Window



easton:



Window @ properly only an opening in a house for the admission of light and air, covered with lattice-work, which might be opened or closed ( kjv@2Kings:1:2; kjv@Acts:20:9). The spies in Jericho and Paul at Damascus were let down from the windows of houses abutting on the town wall kjv@Joshua:2:15; kjv@2Corinthians:11:33). The clouds are metaphorically called the "windows of heaven" kjv@Genesis:7:11; kjv@Malachi:3:10). The word thus rendered in kjv@Isaiah:54:12 ought rather to be rendered "battlements" (LXX., "bulwarks;" R.V., "pinnacles"), or as Gesenius renders it, "notched battlements, i.e., suns or rays of the sun"= having a radiated appearance like the sun.
