Note Note XLII — NOTES TO CHAPTER III.
T. G. (Thomas George) Bonney translation
Terrace-roofs have always been in general use in the East, even for ages; compare Judges xvi. 27, where we are told that there were people on the roof when Samson made the temple of Dagon fall. Assuredly if it had not been flat, 3000 persons could not have remained upon it.
