What is Lime?
LIME
, a well-known substance obtained by burning limestone, bones, shells, etc., and used for plaster or the cement of brick-work. Deut 27:2; Isa 33:12. It is inferred from the above passage, and from Am 2:1, that the modern mode of manufacturing this article was known to the ancients. Untempered mortar is that which is so imperfectly or unskilfully mixed that it cannot be worked. Eze 13:10-11.
