Ceiled, Ceiling
seld, seling (the King James Version and the English Revised Version Cieled, Cieling; the Hebrew words for ceiled are , hippah, , saphan, , sahph; for ceiling, , sippun): Ceiling occurs only in 1Ki 6:15. It comes from the root saphan, meaning to cover. It has its common meaning of the upper surface of a room; there is, however, some doubt of the textual Ceiled is found in 2Ch 3:5 ((hippah); Jer 22:14; Hag 1:4 (saphan in both); Eze 41:16 (sahph)), the text of the last passage being doubtful. In none of these cases does ceiled refer to the upper surface of a room, but to the covering or paneling of the inner walls of a house with cedar or other costly wood. This is in accordance with a common early use of the English word, no longer frequent.
