3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Highway
a raised road for public use. Such roads were not found in
Palestine; hence the force of the language used to describe the
return of the captives and the advent of the Messiah (Isa.
11:16; 35:8; 40:3; 62:10) under the figure of the preparation of
a grand thoroughfare for their march.
During their possession of Palestine the Romans constructed
several important highways, as they did in all countries which
they ruled.

under the highway, if the easement remains unimpaired. Vide Road; Street;
