Chamber. Gen_43:30; 2Sa_18:33; Psa_19:5; Dan_6:10. The word chamber, in these passages, has much the same significance as with us, meaning the private rooms of the house ? the guest chamber, as with us, meaning a room set apart for the accommodation of the visiting friend. Mar_14:14-15; Luk_22:12. The upper chamber was used, more particularly, for the lodgment of strangers. Act_9:37.

chām?bẽr (the translation of the following Hebrew words: חדר, ḥedher, חפה, ḥuppāh, יציע, yācı̄a‛, יצוּע, yācūa‛, לשׁכּה, lishkāh, נשׁכּה, nishkāh, עליּה, ‛ălı̄yāh, צלע, cēlā‛, and the Aramaic word עלּית, ‛illı̄th): 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. Ḥedher is a word of frequent occurrence, and designates a private room. Ḥuppāh is translated ?chamber? only in Psa_19:5, where it is used in connection with ?bridegroom,? and means a bridal chamber. The same Hebrew word used of the bride in Joe_2:16 is rendered ?closet.? Yācı̄a‛ and yācūa‛ are found only in 1Ki_6:5, 1Ki_6:6, 1Ki_6:10 (the King James Version only in all the passages), yācūa‛ being the reading of Kethı̄bh and yācı̄a‛ of Ḳerē in each ease. Here the meaning is really ?story,? as given in the Revised Version (British and American), except in 1Ki_6:6, where doubtless the text should be changed to read ha-cēlā‛, ?the side-chamber.? Lishkāh, a frequent word, and the equivalent nishkāh, infrequent, are used ordinarily of a room in the temple utilized for sacred purposes, occasionally of a room in the palace. ‛Ǎlı̄yāh and the equivalent Aramaic ‛illı̄th signify ?a roof chamber,? i.e. a chamber built on the flat roof of a house. Cēlā‛, when used of a chamber, designates a side-chamber of the temple. It is usually rendered ?side-chamber,? but ?chamber? in 1Ki_6:5, 1Ki_6:8 (the King James Version), where the Revised Version (British and American) has ?side-chamber.?

Chamber
(the translation of various Hebrews words). Oriental houses have in general a court in the center, with cloisters and a gallery, into which the chambers open, the apartments of the women being at the back, and only to be approached by passing through the others. Toward the street is a dead wall, with a porch, over which is a chamber, sometimes used as a lodging for guests, and sometimes as a store-room, it being well suited for either of these purposes, by being connected with the rest of the house by a door in the gallery, and having a separate staircase opening into the porch. This is the "chamber on the wall" (עֲלַיִּתאּקַיר, wall-loft, Sept. ὐπέρῳον) which the Shunamite prepared for the prophet Elisha (2Ki_4:10). Such an "upper chamber" (ὐπέρῳον) is still the guestchamber. where entertainments are made, which was the custom with the Greeks as well as the Jews (Mat_9:14; Mar_14:14). Among the former it occupied the upper story; among the Hebrews it seems to have been on, or connected with, the flat roof of their dwellings (comp. Act_20:8). These upper chambers were also sometimes used for the performance of idolatrous rites (2Ki_23:12), and in them the bodies of the dead were laid out (Act_9:37). The early Christians, too, held their meetings for worship in such places. Besides these, there were inner chambers, or a "chamber within a chamber" (1Ki_22:25), such as that into which the messenger of Elisha retired to anoint Jehu (2Ki_9:2). SEE HOUSE.
The term chamber is used metaphorically in many places of the Scriptures, as Psa_104:3; Psa_104:13; Pro_7:27. To apply ourselves to earnest prayer and supplication, and to depend on the promises and providence of God for special protection, is to enter into our chambers, that we may be safe, as the Hebrews were in their houses, from the destroying angel (Isa_26:20). SEE BED-CHAMBER.
The "chambers of the south" (Job_9:9) are the constellations, or clusters of stars, belonging to the southern part of the firmament. SEE ASTRONOMY.
The term "Chambers of Imagery" (חִדְרֵי מִשְׂכַּיח, figure-apartments; Sept. κοιτῶν κρυπτός) is used by the prophet Ezekiel (Eze_8:12) to denote the vision which he had of the abominations practiced by the Jews in the distant Jerusalem. As the practices there denounced were evidently borrowed from their Chaldaean oppressors, they derive striking elucidation from the gorgeous halls of the Assyrian palaces lately brought to light by Layard, with their long lines of sculptured animals, and kings worshipping before them (Nineveh, 2:209). SEE IMAGERY.
"Chambering" (κόται) signifies in Rom_14:13, that lewd association with courtesans and similar characters that was a peculiar feature of the heathenism of that age. SEE HARLOT.
Chamber
in architectural usage, is a room or apartment, distinguished from the hall, chapel, etc. The great chamber usually adjoined, or was contiguous to, the hall, and answered to the modern drawing-room, or withdrawing-room. The camera of an abbot or prior means his suite of lodgings in. the establishment. The guest chamber was usually over the buttery and pantry, at the lower end of the hall, in a medieval house, and in monasteries near the entrance. In some instances there was a separate hall called the Guesten-hall, as at Worcester.
