The meaning of Causeway; Causey in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

koz'-wa, ko'-zi (more correctly ): This word occurs in I Chronicles 26:16, I Chronicles 26:18 for the Hebrew mecillah; Septuagint pastophorion tes anabaseos. In II Chronicles 9:11 the word is translated "terraces" (Septuagint anabaseis). Compare BDB, under the word, where mecilloth, is an error for mic'adhoth (I Kings 10:12). In all the above passages reference is made to a series or flight of steps leading up into the temple. The word also signifies a prepared, traveled road, as in Numbers 20:19; Judges 20:31 f., Judges 20:45; I Samuel 6:12; II Samuel 20:12 f.; II Kings 18:17 (Isaiah 36:2); Isaiah 7:3; Isaiah 11:16; Isaiah 19:23; Isaiah 33:8; Isaiah 40:3; Isaiah 49:11; Jeremiah 31:21.

Figurative: In Isaiah 59:7 the word (mecillah) occurs in a figurative sense, so also in Judges 5:20; Proverbs 16:17.
