Cieled; Cieling

CIELED, CIELING (Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘ceiled,’ ‘ceiling’). The latter occurs only 1Ki 6:15, where it has its modern signification (reading, however, ‘unto the beams [or rafters] of the cieling).’ The verb, on the other hand, should everywhere be rendered ‘panelled’ (2Ch 3:5, Jer 22:14, Eze 41:16, Hag 1:4 ‘your panelled houses’), the reference being to the panels of cedar or other costly wood with which the inner walls were lined. See House, § 4.
