Ceiling
VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
Ceiling. The descriptions of Scripture, 1Ki_6:9; 1Ki_6:15; 1Ki_7:3; 2Ch_3:5; 2Ch_3:9; Jer_22:14; Hag_1:4, and of Josephus, show that the ceilings of the Temple and the palaces of the Jewish kings were formed of cedar planks applied to the beams or joists crossing from wall to wall. "Oriental houses seem to have been the reverse of ours, the ceiling being of wood, richly ornamented, and the floor of plaster or tiles."
Smith's Bible Dictionary

Fig. 121?Ceilings
The Orientals bestow much attention upon the ceilings of their principal rooms. Where wood is not scarce, they are usually composed of one curious piece of joinery, framed entire, and then raised and nailed to the joists. These ceilings are often divided into small square compartments; but are sometimes of more complicated patterns. Wood of a naturally dark color is commonly chosen, and it is never painted. In places where wood is scarce, and sometimes where it is not particularly so, the ceilings are formed of fihe plaster, with tasteful moldings and ornaments, colored and relieved with gilding, and with pieces of mirror inserted in the hollows formed by the involutions of the raised moldings of the arabesques, which enclose them as in a frame. The antiquity of this taste can be clearly traced by actual examples up to the times of the Old Testament, through the Egyptian monuments, which display ceilings painted with rich colors in such patterns as are shown in the annexed cut. The explanation thus obtained satisfactorily illustrates the peculiar emphasis with which 'ceiled houses' and 'ceiled chambers' are mentioned by Jeremiah (Jer_22:14) and Haggai (Hag_1:4).
