Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the specific architectural feature of a latticed window as described by אֶשְׁנָב. However, Greek terms related to windows or openings in structures might be considered in broader studies of biblical architecture and translations. Usage: The term אֶשְׁנָב is used in the context of architectural features, specifically referring to a window with a lattice or a network of crossed bars, often for ventilation or decorative purposes. Context: The Hebrew word אֶשְׁנָב (eshnav) appears in the Old Testament to describe a specific type of window characterized by its lattice design. This architectural feature was common in ancient Near Eastern structures, providing both ventilation and a degree of privacy. The lattice design allowed for air circulation while limiting visibility from the outside. In the biblical context, such windows are mentioned in descriptions of buildings, indicating their presence in both domestic and possibly temple architecture. In the Berean Standard Bible, אֶשְׁנָב is found in the following passage: • Proverbs 7:6: "For at the window of my house I looked through the lattice." This verse illustrates the use of a latticed window as a vantage point, suggesting its practical function in observing the outside world while remaining somewhat concealed. The imagery of looking through a lattice conveys a sense of watching or observing discreetly, which is consistent with the cultural and architectural practices of the time.
