And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

And let him that is on the housetop, not go down into the house, nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house:

and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter into it to take away anything out of his house;

And let him that is on the house-top not go down into the house, neither enter it, to take any thing out of his house:

and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house;

let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house to fetch anything out of it;

And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:

And let whoever is on the rooftop not descend to the house, nor enter so as to take anything from the house.

and a person on the house-top must not go down, or go in to get anything out of their house:

On the house-top - See the notes at Matthew 9:1-8.

House-top - See on Matthew 24:17 (note).

And let him that is on the house top,.... On the battlements of the house, either for diversion or devotion:
not go down into the house; in the inner way by the stairs, or ladder within doors:
neither enter therein; being come down from the top of the house, by stairs, or a ladder without, which was usual:
to take any thing out of his house; to take care of his goods, or take any thing along with him, that might be useful in his flight, and journey, and stay abroad; See Gill on Matthew 24:17.

And let him that is on the housetop not get down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house--that is, let him take the outside flight of steps from the roof to the ground; a graphic way of denoting the extreme urgency of the case, and the danger of being tempted, by the desire to save his property, to delay till escape should become impossible.
