Isaac, why do you say that the Bible lacks illustrations? What about this one? 
http://catholic-resources.org/Dore/Images/OT-021-med.jpg Isn't it part of the 
MT?

Subject: [b-hebrew] The root סלם SLM

 

It is the variant of

 

סלם, צלם, שלם, תלם

 

SLM, CLM, $LM, TLM, 'tall and massive'.

 

>From this root are the words SULAM, 'ladder?', CELEM, 'form, body', $ALOM, 
>'wholesomeness, soundness', and TELEM, 'ridge, farrow'. See Ps. 65:11(10).

 

All we may say about SULAM is that it is a lofty and massive structure or 
contraption (ladder, staircase, ramp, basket elevator ––– the bible 
unfortunately lacks illustrations) by which to convey vertically.
