In the context of ancient Israel, such fortifications were crucial for the safety of cities and settlements against enemy attacks.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern societies, including Israel, fortifications were essential for the survival of cities. They were typically constructed with stone walls, towers, and gates. These structures served not only as military defenses but also as symbols of strength and stability. The presence of fortifications often indicated a city's wealth and strategic importance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a desc. of Asher<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Birzaith (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">ברזות</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> (?) descendant of Asher (perhaps <font class="hebrew2">בִּרְזָא</font> <em>foramen</em>, Thes, or <img src="/bdbgif/bdb013702.gif"> woman whose beauties are <em>apparent</em>) <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-31.htm">1 Chronicles 7:31</a> Kt (Qr <font class="hebrew2">בִּרְזָ֑יִת</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Birzavith <p>Probably feminine plural from an unused root (apparently mean to pierce); holes; Birzoth, an Israelite -- Birzavith (from the marg.). <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בִרְזָֽיִת׃ ברזית׃ ḇir·zā·yiṯ ḇirzāyiṯ virZayit<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/1_chronicles/7-31.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Chronicles 7:31</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">[בִרְזֹות כ] <b> (בִרְזָֽיִת׃ </b> ק) </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_chronicles/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> who was the father <span class="itali">of Birzaith.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/1_chronicles/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> who [is] the father <span class="itali">of Birzavith.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-31.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> who was the father <span class="itali">Birzavith from the marg</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1269.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1269.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1269<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/virzayit_1269.htm">ḇir·zā·yiṯ — 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'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1268.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1268"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1268" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1270.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1270"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1270" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
