Tile, Tiling
Tile, Tiling
TILE, TILING.The former occurs only in Eze 4:1 for brickthe usual rendering of the original. For plans of a city drawn on bricks or tablets of soft clay, which were afterwards baked hard, see Ezekiel, in SBOT [Note: BOT Sacred Books of Old Testament.] , in loc. Tiling is found only in Luk 5:19 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , for which RV [Note: Revised Version.] has through the tiles. St. Luke seems here to have adapted the narrative of Mk. (for which see House, 5) to the style of roof covered with tiles (see Teguia in Richs Dict. of Antiq.), with which his Western readers were more familiar; or through the tiles is here simply synonymous with through the roof (cf. our expression on the tiles).
