hamlet-dweller, rural villager, unwalled settlement (as opposed to fortified city)
This term designates people living in unwalled villages or rural areas, as distinct from fortified cities. In Deuteronomy 3:5 it contrasts with walled cities; in 1 Samuel 6:18 with fortified cities. The word appears in Esther 9:19 distinguishing rural Jews from city-dwellers in their celebration of Purim. The emphasis is on the absence of defensive walls, making these settlements and their inhabitants vulnerable and less urbanized than their city counterparts.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Deuteronomy 3:5 opposes 'rural settlements' to 'fortified cities with high walls.' First Samuel 6:18 mentions both fortified cities and open-country villages affected by the plague. Esther 9:19 twice references rural Jews (the Qere reading הַפְּרָזִים vs. Ketiv הפרוזים) who celebrate Purim differently than city-dwellers. Spanish aldeanos (villagers) and French 'open country' capture the rural, unwalled character of these settlements. 4×
