And Things Of The Bible -- Battlement
A battlement was a parapet wall or balustrade surrounding the flat
roofs of the houses, required to be built by a special law (Deut. 22:8).
In Jer. 5:10, it denotes the parapet of a city wall.
Denotes the estuary of the Dead Sea at the mouth of the Jordan (Josh.
15:5; 18:19), also the southern extremity of the same sea (15:2). The
same Hebrew word is rendered "tongue" in Isa. 11:15, where it
is used with reference to the forked mouths of the Nile. Bay in Zech.
6:3, 7 denotes the color of horses, but the original Hebrew means
strong, and is here used rather to describe the horses as fleet or
spirited.
