<p> '''Chamber.''' &nbsp;Genesis 43:30. Usually, the private apartments of a house are called chambers. &nbsp;2 Samuel 18:33; &nbsp;Psalms 19:5; &nbsp;Daniel 6:10. [[Particular]] rooms of this class in Eastern houses were designated by significant terms. </p> <p> Guest-chamber. &nbsp;Mark 14:14. This we may suppose to have been a spacious unoccupied room, usually in the upper part of the house, and furnished suitably for the reception and entertainment of guests and for social meetings. The proverbial hospitality of the [[Jews]] would make such provision necessary, and especially at Jerusalem, in festival seasons, when every house in the city was the stranger's home. &nbsp;Mark 14:15; &nbsp;Luke 22:12; &nbsp;Acts 1:13. </p> <p> [[Inner]] Chamber. &nbsp;2 Kings 9:2. A chamber within another chamber. </p> <p> Little Chamber. &nbsp;2 Kings 4:10. An apartment built upon and projecting from the walls of the main house, and communicating by a private door with the house, and by a private stairway with the street. </p> <p> Upper Chamber, or Loft, &nbsp;Acts 9:37, occupied the front part of the building, over the gate or outer entrance, and was used to lodge strangers. Comp. &nbsp;1 Kings 17:19; &nbsp;1 Kings 17:23 with &nbsp;2 Kings 4:10. </p>

<p> ''''' chām´bẽr ''''' (the translation of the following [[Hebrew]] words: חדר , <i> ''''' ḥedher ''''' </i> , חפה , <i> ''''' ḥuppāh ''''' </i> , יציע , <i> ''''' yācı̄a‛ ''''' </i> , יצוּע , <i> ''''' yācūa‛ ''''' </i> , לשׁכּה , <i> ''''' lishkāh ''''' </i> , נשׁכּה , <i> ''''' nishkāh ''''' </i> , עליּה , <i> ''''' ‛ălı̄yāh ''''' </i> , צלע , <i> ''''' cēlā‛ ''''' </i> , and the [[Aramaic]] word עלּית , <i> ''''' ‛illı̄th ''''' </i> ): For the most part the word chamber is the expression of an idea which would be adequately expressed by the English word "room," in accordance with an earlier use of the word, now little employed. For the arrangement of rooms in a Hebrew house, see [[House]] . <i> ''''' Ḥedher ''''' </i> is a word of frequent occurrence, and designates a private room. <i> ''''' Ḥuppāh ''''' </i> is translated "chamber" only in &nbsp;Psalm 19:5 , where it is used in connection with "bridegroom," and means a bridal chamber. The same Hebrew word used of the bride in &nbsp;Joel 2:16 is rendered "closet." <i> ''''' Yācı̄a‛ ''''' </i> and <i> ''''' yācūa‛ ''''' </i> are found only in &nbsp;1 Kings 6:5 , &nbsp;1 Kings 6:6 , &nbsp;1 Kings 6:10 (the King James Version only in all the passages), <i> ''''' yācūa‛ ''''' </i> being the reading of <i> ''''' Kethı̄bh ''''' </i> and <i> ''''' yācı̄a‛ ''''' </i> of <i> ''''' Ḳerē ''''' </i> in each ease. Here the meaning is really "story," as given in the Revised Version (British and American), except in &nbsp;1 Kings 6:6 , where doubtless the text should be changed to read <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' cēlā‛ ''''' </i> , "the side-chamber." <i> ''''' Lishkāh ''''' </i> , a frequent word, and the equivalent <i> ''''' nishkāh ''''' </i> , infrequent, are used ordinarily of a room in the temple utilized for sacred purposes, occasionally of a room in the palace. <i> ''''' ‛Ǎlı̄yāh ''''' </i> and the equivalent Aramaic <i> ''''' ‛illı̄th ''''' </i> signify "a roof chamber," i.e. a chamber built on the flat roof of a house. <i> ''''' Cēlā‛ ''''' </i> , when used of a chamber, designates a side-chamber of the temple. It is usually rendered "side-chamber," but "chamber" in &nbsp;1 Kings 6:5 , &nbsp;1 Kings 6:8 (the King James Version), where the Revised Version (British and American) has "side-chamber." </p>
