This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Narrow windows: these lights were made through the thickness of the wall of the chambers, and the wall was sloped for that purpose, both within toward the chamber, and without toward the cloister, this outward sloping gathering the light from without, and the inward sloping did disperse it over all the chamber; so they were windows narrowed inward, to the middle.
The little chambers; the three on each side of the porch.
To their posts; the upper lintel of each door, over which was a window to let in light from that side.
To the arches; windows under the arches between post and post, to give light to the five cubits’ space between chamber and chamber.
Windows were round about inward: these were on both sides of the porch within the gate exactly unlike.
Palm trees, i.e. engraven with curious art for beauty, and whose upper branches spreading themselves along under the arches seemed to bear up the arches.
