Verse 9
And from under these chambers ,.... Or, "from the lower part of these chambers" F26 ומיתחת הלשכות הלאה "et ab ima, parte exedrarum", Vatablus; "et infra calles has fuisse spatium ", Cocceius, Starckius. ; or, "from the lowest" of them there was a space, as may be supplied, and as is by Cocceius and Starchius; and as there was a wall to the west of them, so there was a void space to the east; and as follows:
the entry on the east side : or, "he that brought me from the east" F1 מהקדים המביא "is qui deducebat me ab oriente", Junius & Tremellius; "quumque is qui introduxerat me ab orientes", Piscator. , as the Keri; and coming eastward to these chambers, one must needs go through this space:
as one goeth into them from the utter court ; if a man went eastward into those chambers from the outward court he must go through this space, which lay to the east of the lowest chambers: or the sense is, that from under the north chambers to the south was an entry on the east side, which led from one to the other.
