1. breach, gap, crack (in a structure) — A physical breach, crack, or gap in a building or structure, especially the temple walls, requiring repair. Used exclusively in 2 Kings 12 and 22 and Ezekiel 27 for structural damage needing mending. All three clusters are the same noun with grammatical variation: absolute (breach), construct with preposition (breach-of, for-breach-of), and with pronominal suffix (your-seams). Cross-linguistically consistent: Spanish grieta, Arabic شَقّ (shaqq), Korean 파손 (pason), Swahili ufa, Hindi टूट (tut)/दरार (darar) all denote a physical crack or fissure in a surface. 10×
