In the New Testament, it is used to describe both literal and metaphorical walls, emphasizing protection, division, or separation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, city walls were crucial for protection against invaders and were a symbol of strength and security. They were often massive structures, sometimes several feet thick and many feet high, constructed from stone or brick. The presence of a wall around a city was a sign of its importance and the need to defend its inhabitants and resources. In the biblical context, walls also had spiritual significance, representing God's protection and the separation between the holy and the profane.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wall<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wall (8), walls (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5038: τεῖχος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τεῖχος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">τείχους</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">θιγγάνω</span></span>; allied with it are English 'dike' and 'ditch'), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> very frequent for <span class="hebrew">חומָה</span>, 'wall'; <span class="accented">the wall round a city, town-wall</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/9-25.htm">Acts 9:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/11-33.htm">2 Corinthians 11:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/11-30.htm">Hebrews 11:30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/21-12.htm">Revelation 21:12, 14f, 17-19</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>wall. <p>Akin to the base of <a href="/greek/5088.htm">tikto</a>; a wall (as formative of a house) -- wall. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/5088.htm">tikto</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>τειέχων τείχει τείχεσιν τειχέων τειχη τείχη τειχος τείχος τείχός τεῖχος τειχους τείχους τείχω τειχών teiche teichē teíche teíchē teichos teîchos teichous teíchous<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/acts/9-25.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Acts 9:25</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
