DefinitionShort: to take the roof off of a house
Glosses: ['to remove the roof', 'to unroof']
Comments: In {S:04100200400018} ἀποστεγάζω refers to only a part of the roof, and therefore in a number of languages it may be necessary to translate as ‘they made a hole in the roof.’ In view of the type of houses built in Palestine in NT times, the roof no doubt would have been flat, held up by heavy beams over which were laid planks or sticks and then covered with sun-baked clay.
LEXReferences: MARK 2:4
