COMMENTS

*1 Rashis Nu34-07c Nu34-07d
*2 See RADACK, METZUDATH ZION and RASHI. The Hebrew TA does
not just mean a CHAMBER but means a CHAMBER on the BORDER
of the house
*3 I use ATTIC as a good English apprximation. ATTIC
definitionally means a room on the house border. But the
Hebrew TA could refer to ANY chamber on the house border
whether in the roof (ATTIC), basement (STORAGE ROOM), or
on the side

LONGER FOOTNOTES
|
*10 There are about a dozen occurrences of the Hebrew TAH
The verb form (TO BORDER) occurs in Nu34-07. There are
several occurrences in Ez 40. There is one occurence
each in 1R14-28 and 2C12-11. But all other occurrences
(outside of Nu34-07) clearly refer to some type of
room (Which the commentators interpret as a storage
room---I have given the English equivalant, ATTIC).
The secular scholar Mendelkorn in his Konkordance suggests
that the root may come from Tauv-vav-hey (To OUTLINE).
