* a lattice.
The flat roofs of the eastern houses are generally surrounded
by a parapet wall breast high; but instead of this, some
terraces are guarded with balustrades only, or latticed work.
Of the same kind, probably, was the lattice, or net, as the
term {shevacha} seems to import, through which Ahaziah fell
into the court. This incident proves the necessity of the law
for the formation of battlements for roof, (De 22:8,) which
God graciously dictated from Sinai, which furnishes a
beautiful example of his paternal care and goodness; for the
terrace was a place where many offices of the family were
performed, and business frequently transacted.
