WINDOWS
Openings made in the walls of the rooms (Gen. 26:8; 1 Kings 6:4; Jer. 22:14), were opened and closed with mats or lattices (Gen. 8:6; 2 Kings 13: 17; Dan. 6:10; Judges 5:28; 2 Kings 1:2; Prov. 7:6; Song 2:9).
The windows on the ground or upper floors were undoubtedly small and barred. Most of the windows of rich houses faced the inner courtyard. The windows of the houses built on the wall looked out onto the fields (Josh. 2:15; 2 Cor. 11:33).
