kôz´wā , kô´zi (more correctly ): This word occurs in 1 Chronicles 26:16 , 1 Chronicles 26:18 for the Hebrew מסלּה , meṣillāh ; Septuagint παστοφορίον τῆς ἀναβάσεως , pastophorı́on tḗs anabáseōs ̌ . In 2 Chronicles 9:11 the word is translated "terraces" (Septuagint ἀναβάσεις , anabáseis ). Compare BDB , under the word, where מסלּות , meṣillōth , is an error for מסעדות , miṣ‛ādhōth (1 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,45; 1 Samuel 6:12; 2 Samuel 20:12 f; 2 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 ( meṣillāh ) occurs in a figurative sense, so also in Judges 5:20; Proverbs 16:17 .
