beams/rafters - architectural elements in Solomon's temple, possibly vaulted roofs or ceiling beams
This architectural term likely refers to beams, rafters, or possibly vaulted roof structures in Solomon's temple construction. The etymology remains uncertain, with some scholars proposing a Persian loanword for 'vaulted roofs' or domed structures. The context describes the covering or roofing of the temple with cedar. Given the temple's grandeur and the use of Lebanese cedar, these would have been substantial architectural elements, whether horizontal beams or curved vault supports.

1. sense 1 — 1 Kings 6:9 states that Solomon 'covered the temple with beams and planks of cedar.' This describes the temple's roof construction using premium materials. All major translations consistently render this as 'beams,' though lexicographers acknowledge uncertainty about the precise architectural form—whether flat ceiling beams or more elaborate vaulted structures that would showcase Solomon's architectural ambitions. 1×
