Means of protection from assault. In Biblical times outlying farms were protected from bands of marauders by watch-towers ("migdal"; see see TOWER). When the collection of houses in a village became large enough to need protection, they were generally enclosed by a wall, and were then known as cities. At times centers of strategic importance were held as fortresses (FORTRESS).
