Footnotes
| 308 | Strongs’ #2474, challon, something pierced, bored, perforation. From the verb chalal (#2490) to bore, perforate. Just as a “door” was literally called an “opening”. This is normally interpreted as a “window” but windows are modern inventions. This is different from the lattice “window” mentioned in 7:11 and 8:2. It is the window of a house or palace. Its root verb, chalal, means to bore or pierce. See note on Genesis 4:26. |
