“When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.”
When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof; otherwise you might have bloodshed brought upon your house if anyone should fall from it — the reiteration of roof-safety (nearly identical to 21:22) indicates that preventing accidental death is a covenantal constant; architectural design itself becomes an expression of covenant care.
