Strong's Lexicon gag: Roof Original Word: גַּג Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to cover Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1430 (doma): Refers to a housetop or roof in the New Testament, as seen in passages like Matthew 24:17. Usage: The Hebrew word "gag" refers to a roof, typically the flat roof of a house or building. In ancient Israel, roofs were often used as additional living space, places for storage, or locations for various activities such as drying produce or social gatherings. The term is used in the Bible to describe both literal and metaphorical roofs. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, flat roofs were common due to the warm climate. These roofs were constructed with beams and covered with a mixture of clay and straw, providing a functional space for various activities. The Law of Moses even included instructions for building parapets around roofs to prevent accidents (Deuteronomy 22:8). Roofs were significant in daily life and could serve as places of prayer, rest, or even refuge.
