GALLERY.—1. AV [Note: Authorized Version.] in Son_7:6 reads ‘The king is held in the galleries.’ The Heb. is bârehâtîm, which, there is no reasonable doubt, means ‘in the tresses’ (so RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). The king is captivated, that is to say, by the tresses of this ‘prince’s daughter.’ 2. AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of attîq, a word whose etymology and meaning are both obscure. It is found only in the description of Ezekiel’s temple (Eze_41:18; Eze_41:16; Eze_42:8; Eze_42:8).
