Gallery

1. attiq. The signification of this word is not now definitely known: some suppose it to signify a colonnade (Ezek. 41:15-1615And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court; 16The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered; (Ezekiel 41:15‑16); Ezek. 42:3, 53Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. (Ezekiel 42:3)
5Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. (Ezekiel 42:5)).
2. rahat, “to be collected or drawn together.” It is translated “gutters” in Genesis 30:38,4138And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. (Genesis 30:38)
41And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. (Genesis 30:41), and “troughs” in Exodus 2:1616Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. (Exodus 2:16), in which water was collected for the cattle. Song of {s 22221}Solomon 7:55Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. (Song of Solomon 7:5) is better translated “The king is held by the tresses” of the “hair” mentioned in the line before.
