surrounding, encompassing; structural circuit (obscure architectural term)
An obscure architectural term in Ezekiel 41:7, describing something about the temple's 'surrounding' or 'circuit.' The text is notoriously difficult—BDB admits the meaning is 'wholly obscure.' Proposals include 'winding structure,' 'enlargement,' or a scribal error. The word seems to describe how the side chambers expand as they rise, but the details escape us. This is one of Ezekiel's many technical terms lost to time.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Ezekiel 41:7's architectural vision includes this hapax in a description of the temple's side chambers. The root suggests 'turning' or 'surrounding,' perhaps a spiral or circuit. The domain (Spatial Positions) and translations ('surrounding,' 'rodeo') attempt to locate something circular or encircling, but the ancient building technique remains unclear. Some delete the word as dittography; others emend. The temple Ezekiel saw defies our reconstruction. 1×
