Au. Ver. 4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights [or, windows broad within and narrow without: or, skewed and closed].

Pool.-Narrow outward, to prevent the inconveniences of the weather; widening by degrees inward, that so the house might

better receive and more disperse the light. Or, for prospect, i. e., to give light; yet shut, i. e., so far closed as to keep out weather, and let in light.

DEN, Arab., arctavit, occlusit ostium, id. Chald. He shut or closed the lips, Prov. xvii. 28; the ears, ib. xxi. 13; Is. xxxiii. 15; Bp.

By which verge obliquely towards closing on which means the house was better secured the outside, 1 Kings vi. 4; Ezek. xl. 16. from the weather; and yet had lights Jerome says on this place..." non directas enough.

"Idcirco," says Jerome, “a saadmittendam factas; "long and narrow gittis vocabulum perceperunt, quod instar windows made to shoot out weapons, rather sagittarum angustum in ædes lumen imthan to let in light." And he translates mittant et intrinsecus dilatentur;" ib.

He made chambers round about]. In the Hebrew, he made ribs by which some understand galleries. Which encompassed all the forenamed chambers, as our ribs do the entrails of our bodies. Without which there could not have been a convenient passage to the several chambers: which were made to serve the priests to lay their garments in, and wherein they rested, and ate of the sacrifices, and other uses.

Bp. Horsley. He built chambers; rather, with Queen Elizabeth's translators, he built galleries. He made chambers: nw, rather, joists. The word, I think, expresses the principal timbers of any part of a building, joists in a floor, uprights in the walls, rafters in the roof.
