ro.chav denotes a measured lateral dimension of constructed objects, furnishings, and enclosed spaces.

The term consistently marks a specified lateral measurement in dimensional descriptions: of portable objects such as the ark and table, of curtains and boards, and of buildings, gates, courts, and other measured spaces.

Senses in use

  1. Measured lateral dimension · dominant

    The noun identifies one dimension within stated measurements. In Exodus 25:10 the APB renders the ark's dimensions with length, “width,” and height; in 1 Kings 6:2 it similarly gives the house's length, “width,” and height. Ezekiel 40:19 places the measurement between the lower gate and the inner court, while Ezekiel 40:47 gives the court both length and width.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the dimensional clauses, the APB commonly presents the term with “width” or “wide,” alongside length and sometimes height. These renderings confirm the measurement setting rather than isolating an English equivalent in every occurrence.
