While the term "quadrangle" itself does not appear in the Bible, the concept of a four-sided enclosed space can be related to various structures and layouts mentioned in biblical texts, particularly in the context of ancient architecture and city planning.<br><br><b>Biblical Context and References</b><br><br>1. <b>Temple Courtyards</b>: The concept of a quadrangle can be associated with the courtyards of the Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple, as described in the Old Testament, had several courtyards, including the Court of the Gentiles, the Court of Women, and the inner courts. These courtyards served as gathering places for worshippers and were integral to the Temple's design. In <a href="/bsb/1_kings/6.htm">1 Kings 6-7</a>, the construction of Solomon's Temple is detailed, highlighting the importance of these enclosed spaces in the religious and communal life of Israel.<br><br>2. <b>City Layouts</b>: Ancient cities often featured quadrangular layouts, with walls and gates forming enclosed spaces for protection and organization. The city of Jerusalem, for example, was fortified with walls that created distinct sections within the city. <a href="/bsb/nehemiah/3.htm">Nehemiah 3</a> describes the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, emphasizing the structured and enclosed nature of the city's design.<br><br>3. <b>Symbolic Significance</b>: The number four, associated with quadrangles, holds symbolic significance in the Bible. It often represents completeness and universality, as seen in the four corners of the earth (<a href="/isaiah/11-12.htm">Isaiah 11:12</a>) and the four living creatures in <a href="/revelation/4-6.htm">Revelation 4:6-8</a>. This symbolism can extend to the idea of a quadrangle as a complete and secure space.<br><br>4. <b>Practical Uses</b>: Quadrangles in biblical times would have served practical purposes, such as providing space for gatherings, markets, and legal proceedings. The marketplace, or agora, in ancient cities was often a quadrangular space where people conducted business and socialized. While not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, such spaces would have been familiar to the people of biblical times.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of a quadrangle, while not directly mentioned in Scripture, can be seen as a metaphor for the order and structure that God brings to His creation. Just as a quadrangle provides a defined and secure space, God's laws and commandments create boundaries that offer protection and guidance for His people. The enclosed nature of a quadrangle can also symbolize the safety and refuge found in God's presence, as expressed in verses like <a href="/psalms/91.htm">Psalm 91:1-2</a> : "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'"<br><br>In summary, while the term "quadrangle" is not explicitly found in the Bible, the concept is reflected in the architectural and symbolic elements of biblical narratives. These enclosed spaces serve as reminders of God's order, protection, and the communal aspects of worship and daily life in ancient times.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
