This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term חַלּוֹן (challon) as it appears in the Hebrew Bible, highlighting its architectural, narrative, and symbolic uses. Usage: The term חַלּוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a window, often in the context of architectural descriptions or narratives involving buildings. It appears in various contexts, including descriptions of the construction of the Temple, homes, and in narrative accounts. Context: The Hebrew word חַלּוֹן (challon) is used to describe a window, an architectural feature that allows light and air into a building. In the ancient Near East, windows were often small and placed high on walls for security and privacy. The Bible references windows in several contexts: • Construction and Architecture: In 1 Kings 6:4, during the construction of Solomon's Temple, "windows with beveled frames" are mentioned, indicating the presence of artistic and functional design in sacred architecture. • Narrative Accounts: In the story of Rahab in Joshua 2:15, she lets the spies down through a window, demonstrating the practical use of windows for escape or entry. Similarly, in 2 Samuel 6:16, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looks through a window and sees King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, illustrating the window as a vantage point for observation. • Symbolic and Prophetic Imagery: In prophetic literature, windows can symbolize openings to divine revelation or judgment. For example, in Isaiah 24:18, the imagery of windows is used metaphorically to describe the inescapable nature of God's judgment. Windows in biblical times were typically covered with lattice or shutters to control light and air flow, and to provide security. The presence of windows in biblical narratives often adds a layer of meaning, whether it be for practical purposes, symbolic significance, or as a narrative device.
