/s/summer-fruit.htm - 7k International Standard Bible Encyclopedia SUMMER-HOUSE(beth ha-qayits): Amos 3:15 notes it as part of the judgment on Israel that Yahweh would smite "the winter-house with the summer-house." It belonged to the luxury of the period that kings and wealthy persons had separate residences for the cold and hot seasons. This is the only mention of "the summer-house," but Eglon's "cool upper room" (Judges 3:20, the King James Version and the English Revised Version "summer parlour," not in this case a separate building) may be compared.
See WINTER-HOUSE.
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary ( n.) A rustic house or apartment in a garden or park, to be used as a pleasure resort in summer. |
