Deuteronomy 22:8

8 When you build a new house, you shall make a wall around the roof. Otherwise, someone may slip and fall down violently, and so blood would be shed at your house, and you would be guilty. ^{▼▼22:8 Battlement: This precaution was necessary, because all their houses had flat tops, and it was usual to walk and to converse together upon them.(Challoner)}
