The meaning of Dwellings in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
The materials used in buildings were commonly bricks, sometimes also stones (Leviticus 14:40,42), which were held together by cement (Jeremiah 43:9) or bitumen (Genesis 11:3). The exterior was usually whitewashed (Leviticus 14:41; Ezekiel 13:10; Matthew 23:27). The beams were of sycamore (Isaiah 9:10), or olive-wood, or cedar (I Kings 7:2; Isaiah 9:10).
