Subjects in this Topic:
( îְñַìָּä , mesillah´), a raised way (1Ch_26:16; 1Ch_26:18), or stairs of wood ("terrace," 2Ch_9:11). In these passages it apparently refers to an ascent by steps, or a raised slope between Zion and the Temple, which in subsequent times was replaced by the bridge. In 2Ch_9:4, it is called òֲìַéָä (aliyah´), an "ascent." In most of the passages where it occurs, the former word signifies any public road, and is translated "highway."
