Strong's Lexicon eshnab: Lattice, window Original Word: אֶשְׁנָב Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be latticed Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as "eshnab" is a specific Hebrew term related to ancient architectural features. However, Greek terms related to windows or openings, such as "θυρίς" (thyris), meaning "window," may serve a similar function in the New Testament context. Usage: The term "eshnab" refers to a window or lattice, typically a small opening in a wall or structure that allows light and air to enter while providing a degree of privacy or security. In the context of ancient architecture, it often denotes a window with a lattice or grillwork. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, windows were not as common as in modern buildings. They were often small and placed high on walls to provide ventilation and light while maintaining security and privacy. Lattices or grills were used to cover these openings, allowing inhabitants to see out without being easily seen from the outside. This design was practical for both residential and defensive structures, reflecting the need for protection in a time when cities were often fortified against invaders.
