'Rooms' in the Bible

“Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside.

but the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of God’s temple.

Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple and its buildings, treasuries, upper rooms, inner rooms, and a room for the mercy seat.

On that same day men were placed in charge of the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tenths. The legally required portions for the priests and Levites were gathered from the village fields, because Judah was grateful to the priests and Levites who were serving.

I ordered that the rooms be purified, and I had the articles of the house of God restored there, along with the grain offering and frankincense.

by knowledge the rooms are filledwith every precious and beautiful treasure.

Go, my people, enter your roomsand close your doors behind you.Hide for a little while until the wrath has passed.

Woe for the one who builds his palacethrough unrighteousness,his upper rooms through injustice,who makes his fellow man serve without payand will not give him his wages,

who says, “I will build myself a massive palace,with spacious upper rooms.”He will cut windows in it,and it will be paneled with cedarand painted with vermilion.

Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was 10½ feet thick. The width of the side rooms all around the temple was seven feet.

The side rooms were arranged one above another in three stories of 30 rooms each. There were ledges on the wall of the temple all around to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be in the temple wall itself.

The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive story, for the structure surrounding the temple went up by stages. This was the reason for the temple’s broadness as it rose. And so, one would go up from the lowest story to the highest by means of the middle one.

I saw that the temple had a raised platform surrounding it; this foundation for the side rooms was 10½ feet high.

The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8¾ feet. The free space between the side rooms of the temple

The side rooms opened into the free space, one entrance toward the north and another to the south. The area of free space was 8¾ feet wide all around.

There were beveled windows and palm trees on both sides, on the side walls of the portico, the side rooms of the temple, and the canopies.
