walls
walls It was essential in ancient times to protect vineyards with walls of unhewn stones and
cities with quite massive fortifications. The earliest walls of
Jericho consisted of solid stone 2 m. (6 feet) thick. From the walls defenders of a city could engage an enemy (2 Sam. 11: 20–1) and down a wall fugitives could make their escape (Josh. 2: 15). Paul was let down the wall of
Damascus in a basket (Acts 9: 25); he later uses a metaphor to describe the high priest
Ananias as a ‘whitewashed wall’ (Acts 23: 3).
