Topical Encyclopedia

In biblical times, streets played a significant role in the daily life and social structure of ancient cities. They were not only pathways for travel and commerce but also venues for public gatherings, legal proceedings, and religious activities. The concept of streets in the Bible often carries both literal and metaphorical meanings, reflecting the cultural and spiritual dimensions of the societies described in the Scriptures.

Old Testament References

Streets in ancient Israelite cities were typically narrow and winding, reflecting the organic growth of settlements. In the Old Testament, streets are often mentioned in the context of city life and public activities. For example, in the book of Nehemiah, the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls included the restoration of its streets, highlighting their importance in the city's infrastructure: "So we rebuilt the wall until all of it was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work" (Nehemiah 4:6).

The streets were also places where justice was administered and wisdom was shared.Proverbs 1:20-21 personifies wisdom as calling out in the streets: "Wisdom calls out in the street, she lifts her voice in the square; in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech." This imagery underscores the streets as venues for public discourse and moral instruction.

New Testament Context

In the New Testament, streets continue to serve as significant settings for various events. Jesus often taught and performed miracles in the streets, making His message accessible to the common people. InMatthew 6:2 , Jesus warns against performing acts of righteousness for public acclaim: "So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men."

The streets of Jerusalem are notably mentioned during the events of Jesus' final days. The Via Dolorosa, the path that Jesus walked on the way to His crucifixion, is a poignant reminder of the streets' role in the Passion narrative. Additionally, the streets of Jerusalem were filled with people during the triumphal entry of Jesus, as recorded inMatthew 21:8-9 : "A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: 'Hosanna to the Son of David!'"

Symbolic and Prophetic Uses

Streets are also used symbolically in biblical prophecy and eschatology. InRevelation 21:21 , the New Jerusalem is described with streets of pure gold: "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, as pure as transparent glass." This imagery conveys the glory and purity of the heavenly city, contrasting with the earthly streets that are often associated with sin and corruption.

In prophetic literature, the desolation of streets is a sign of judgment and calamity.Isaiah 24:10-11 describes a city in ruins: "The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry. In the streets they cry out for wine; all joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land." Such depictions serve as warnings of the consequences of turning away from God.

Cultural and Social Implications

The streets of biblical cities were central to the social and economic life of the community. Markets were often held in the streets, where merchants and buyers would gather. The hustle and bustle of street life are captured in various biblical narratives, reflecting the vibrancy and complexity of ancient urban centers.

In summary, streets in the Bible are multifaceted, serving as literal pathways and symbolic representations of spiritual truths. They are places of teaching, judgment, celebration, and sometimes desolation, reflecting the diverse experiences of God's people throughout biblical history.

Streets

In the towns and cities of Palestine, are supposed to have been comparatively narrow and ill graded, on account of the unevenness of their sites, and the little use of wheel-carriages. They were wider, however, than in many modern cities,Luke 14:21, and terminated in large public areas around the gates,Nehemiah 8:1. Josephus says that those of Jerusalem were paved. They were named, like our own streets,Acts 9:11, and often resembled the bazaars of modern eastern cities, the shops of the same kind being in the same street and giving it its name, as the bakers' street,Nehemiah 3:31,32;Jeremiah 37:21, and the valley of the cheesemongers. Here, and especially at the prominent points and corners, men loved, as the Turks do now, to spread their piece of carpet and sit,1 Samuel 4:13;Job 29:7; and here at the hours of prayer they performed their devotions,Matthew 6:5.
