me.che.zah denotes an architectural opening arranged opposite another within a structure.

The attested use denotes an architectural opening in a repeated, opposite arrangement: both verses place the noun in the phrase “window opposite window,” within descriptions of rows, frames, entrances, and doorposts.

Senses in use

  1. Architectural opening in opposite arrangement · dominant

    In 1 Kings 7:4, the feminine singular absolute forms occur in the clause describing three rows of frames and an opening opposite another three times; the APB renders the clause “window opposite window three times.” In 1 Kings 7:5, the same form occurs again in a description of entrances and doorposts squared with frames, followed by the same opposite arrangement; the APB again renders “window opposite window three times.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across 1 Kings 7:4 and 1 Kings 7:5, the APB presents the repeated arrangement as “window opposite window three times.” This rendering confirms the architectural setting without isolating every contribution of the Hebrew noun.
