And Things Of The Bible -- Arch
An architectural term found only in Ezek. 40:16, 21, 22, 26, 29. There
is no absolute proof that the Israelites employed arches in their
buildings. The arch was employed in the building of the pyramids of Egypt.
The oldest existing arch is at Thebes, and bears the date B.C. 1350. There
are also still found the remains of an arch, known as Robinson's Arch, of
the bridge connecting Zion and Moriah.
