Psa 125:2; Jer 21:13 of vision: Sa1 3:1; Psa 147:19, Psa 147:20; Pro 29:18; Mic 3:6; Rom 3:2, Rom 9:4, Rom 9:5 What: Gen 21:17; Jdg 18:23; Sa1 11:5; Sa2 14:5; Kg2 6:28; Psa 114:5 that thou: The eastern houses are built with a court within, into which chiefly the windows open; those that open to the street being so obstructed with lattice work, that no one can see through them.
