pāv?ment: In the Old Testament, with the exception of 2Ki_16:17, the Hebrew word is רצפּה, ricpāh (2Ch_7:3; Est_1:6; Eze_40:17, etc.); in Sirach 20:18 and Bel and the Dragon verse 19 the word is ἔδαφος, édaphos; in Joh_19:13, the name ?The Pavement? (λιθόστρωτος, lithóstrōtos, ?paved with stone?) is given to the place outside the Pretorium on which Pilate sat to give judgment upon Jesus. Its Hebrew (Aramaic) equivalent is declared to be GABBATHA (which see). The identification of the place is uncertain.

[GABBATHA]




The Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature
by John Kitto.


Pavement
is the rendering in the A.V. of רַצְפָּה, ritspah', originally a stone heated for baking purposes, and hence a tesselated pavement (2Ch_7:3; Est_1:6; Ezekiel xl, 17, 18; 42:3), once of the cognate term
מִרְצֶפֶת, martse'pheth, a paved floor (2Ki_16:17). In Joh_19:13 it is the rendering of λιθόστρωτος, which is immediately explained by the Heb. equivalent Gabbatha (q.v.). In the account of the sacrilege of Ahab, we read that he removed the brazen oxen upon which the base in the Temple rested, and substituted a stone pavement (2Ki_16:17). The lower stories of Eastern houses and palaces, in later days, were usually paved with marble (Est_1:6), but in the time of Moses marble was not used for pavements. The “paved work of a sapphire stone” mentioned in Exo_24:10 is therefore supposed to refer to the splendid floors known in Egypt, which were formed of painted tiles or bricks. Champollion and Rosellini have given specimens of these ornamented floors, and fragments of such may be seen in the British Museum. This taste still prevails in the East. Le Bruyn tells us that the mosque at Jerusalem is almost all covered over with green and blue bricks, which are glazed, so that when the sun shines the eve is perfectly dazzled; and Dr. Russell likewise mentions that a portion of the pavement of some of the houses in Syria is composed of mosaic work.
