In the biblical context, walls were significant for the defense of cities, demarcation of property, and as symbols of strength and security.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, walls were crucial for the protection of cities against invaders. They were often constructed from stone or mud-brick and could be quite formidable. The presence of a wall around a city was a sign of its strength and stability. In biblical times, the destruction or breach of a wall often symbolized vulnerability and defeat, while the rebuilding of walls was a sign of restoration and renewal.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/3796.htm">kothel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wall. <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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>wall <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/3796.htm">kothel</a> -- wall. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3796.htm">kothel</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּכֻתְלַיָּ֑א בכתליא כְתַ֥ל כתל bə·ḵuṯ·lay·yā bechutlaiYa bəḵuṯlayyā cheTal ḵə·ṯal ḵəṯal<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/ezra/5-8.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 5:8</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְאָ֖ע מִתְּשָׂ֣ם <b> בְּכֻתְלַיָּ֑א </b> וַעֲבִ֥ידְתָּא דָ֛ךְ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> are being laid <span class="itali">in the walls;</span> and this<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> is laid <span class="itali">in the walls,</span> and this<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-8.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and beams laid <span class="itali">the walls</span> work and this<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:5</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">גִּירָ֕א דִּֽי־ <b> כְתַ֥ל </b> הֵיכְלָ֖א דִּ֣י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> on the plaster <span class="itali">of the wall</span> of the king's<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the plaister <span class="itali">of the wall</span> of the king's<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-5.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the plaster forasmuch <span class="itali">of the wall</span> palace forasmuch<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3797.htm">2 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3797.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3797<br>2 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/bechutlaiya_3797.htm">bə·ḵuṯ·lay·yā — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/chetal_3797.htm">ḵə·ṯal — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
