- O tower:
- The Targumist applies these words to the Messiah: "But thou, O Messiah, who art hidden because of the sins of the congregation of Zion, the kingdom shall come unto thee." "Walk aboutª° Zion,ª and go round aboutª° her: tellª° the towersª thereof. ... Mark²° ye wellª¹ her bulwarks,ª considerª° her palaces;ª that¹ ye may tellª° [it] to the generationª following.ª" {Psa 48:12-13} + "And he fencedª° it, and gathered out the stonesª° thereof, and plantedª° it with the choicest vine,ª and builtª° a towerª in the midstª of it, and also¹ madeª° a winepressª therein: and he lookedª° that it should bring forthª° grapes,ª and it brought forthª° wild grapes.ª" {Isa 5:2} + "Hearª° anotherª parable:ª There wasª° a certainª² householder,ª whichª plantedª° a vineyard,ª andª hedged² it² round about,ª°¹¹ andª diggedª° a winepressª inª it,ª andª builtª° a tower,ª andª let²° it² outª°¹ to husbandmen,ª andª went into a far country:ª°" {Mtt 21:33} + "Andª he beganª° to speakª° unto themª byª parables.ª A [certain] manª plantedª° a vineyard,ª andª set²° an hedge aboutª¹ [it], andª diggedª° [a place for] the winefat,ª andª builtª° a tower,ª andª let²° it² outª°¹ to husbandmen,ª andª went into a far country.ª°" {Mrk 12:1}
