Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) Rafters.--Marg., galleries (comp. Song of Solomon 7:5); LXX., ?????????; Vulg., laquearia; Heb., rahit, from rahat = run, flow: hence (1) a gutter, from the water running down (Gen. 3:38); (2) a curl, from its flowing down the neck (Song of Solomon 7:5--Hebrews 6); (3) here rafters, or roof beams, from their spreading overhead. "Our couch was the green grass, the arches of our bower the cedar branches, and its rafters the firs." Others read rachitim,
