That requirement should be taken literally where it is needed, that is for flat roofs on which people sit or store things as they did in accient Israel or the American Southwest. It doesn&#39;t apply where people have sloped roofs to protect from the weight of snow.<br /> The requirement of Deuteronomy should also be taken figuratively as a general principle, to guard against ANY clearly forseeable hazard.Edward Sternnoreply@blogger.com
