Genesis 26:8

ו יהי כי ארכו לו שם ה ימים ו ישקף אבימלך מלך פלשתים בעד ה חלון ו ירא ו הנה יצחק מצחק את רבקה אשתו
And he is becoming, for the Days have been long to-himself there, and Father-King king of Philistines is looking down from-the back of the perforation,877 and he is seeing, and behold, He-Laughs is laughing אֶת-Stall-Fed878 his woman.

Footnote:

877

Why mention only a “window” in this narrative and not a building? Was he looking down from a tower? A house? We are not told. The important thing to know apparently is that he looked down from behind a perforation/hole.
