The covering a roof of a room with wood, formed into patterns: some with fir-trees as 2Ch 3:5, and others with cedar and painted. 1Ki 6:15; Jer 22:14; Eze 41:16; Hag 1:4.
Then he built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the ceiling he overlaid the walls on the inside with wood, and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
He overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
Who says, 'I will build myself a roomy house With spacious upper rooms, And cut out its windows, Paneling it with cedar and painting it bright red.'
The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered),
"Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate?"
