Komory zwierzchnie były cieśniejsze, abowiem podwiązanie swe miały na spodnich i średnich komorach budowania onego.
Sale na drugim piętrze były węższe od tych na pierwszym i na parterze. Część przestrzeni zajmowały galerie.
Jednak wyższe hale były skrócone, ponieważ galerie zabierały z ich powierzchni, w porównaniu ze środkowymi i dolnymi w tym budynku.
A komórki najwyższe były ciaśniejsze, przeto, że ganki były szersze niż one, niżeli spodnie i średnie budowania.
A górne komórki były węższe, ponieważ ich krużganki były szersze od tych w dolnej i środkowej części budowli.
Lecz górne hale budynku były wyższe niż dolne i środkowe, ponieważ galerie zabierały im nieco miejsca.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
were higher than these: or, did eat of these, Ezekiel 41:7
than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building: or, and the building consisted of the lower and the middlemost. Ezekiel 42:6
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 40:7 - General
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now the upper chambers were shorter,.... The chambers were in three stories, as in the following verse, one above another; the middlemost were shorter than the lowermost, and the upper shorter than either; just the reverse of the chambers in Ezekiel 41:7, they were not so high from the floor to the ceiling, nor so broad from side to side. The reason follows:
for the galleries were higher than these; or, "ate out of these" w, "than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building"; the meaning is, that the galleries or balconies in the middlemost and upper chambers were taken, out of them, and so made them lesser than the lower ones, and the upper ones lesser than either; or the posts or pillars, as the word may be rendered, see Ezekiel 42:3, which supported the chambers, took more out of the uppermost than the others, and so made them shorter. This may signify the diversity of gifts and grace, of light and knowledge, and of liberty and comfort, in the churches; and that, as those that are uppermost have most light, they are usually the least, and fewest members in them; who are the few names in Sardis, Revelation 3:4, and are generally more straitened, afflicted, reproached, and persecuted.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Render: âAnd the upper chambers wereâ shortened, for galleries took off from them, from âthe lowerâ and from âthe middle-most, chambers, of the building.â The building rose in terraces, as was usual in Babylonian architecture, and so each of the two upper stories receded from the one below it.
