Luke 5:19
went up <305> [they went.]
roof <1430> [housetop.]
Luke 12:3
whatever <3745> [whatsoever.]
will be proclaimed <2784> [proclaimed.]
The houses in Judea being flat-roofed, with a balustrade round about, were used for the purpose of taking the air, sleeping, and prayer, and, it seems, for announcing things in the most public manner. So among the Turks, a crier announces the hours of public worship from the minaret or tower of the mosque.
housetops <1430> [housetops.]
Luke 17:31
anyone who <3739> [he which.]
The flat-roofed eastern houses have stairs on the outside, by which a person may ascend and descend without coming into the house; and in walled cities they usually form continued terraces, from one end of the city to the other, terminating at the gates; so that one may pass along the tops of the houses and escape out of the city without coming down into the street.
