Tile, Tiling

VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020

TILE, TILING.—The former occurs only in Eze_4:1 for ‘brick’—the usual rendering of the original. For plans of a city drawn on ‘bricks’ or ‘tablets’ of soft clay, which were afterwards baked hard, see ‘Ezekiel,’ in SBOT [Note: BOT Sacred Books of Old Testament.] , in loc. ‘Tiling’ is found only in Luk_5:19 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , for which RV [Note: Revised Version.] has ‘through the tiles.’ St. Luke seems here to have adapted the narrative of Mk. (for which see House, § 5) to the style of roof covered with tiles (see ‘Teguia’ in Rich’s Dict. of Antiq.), with which his Western readers were more familiar; or ‘through the tiles’ is here simply synonymous with ‘through the roof’ (cf. our expression ‘on the tiles’).
