Cabin
Cabin
(, chanuth’; Sept. merely Graecizes, ), properly a vault or cell (so the margin) within the dungeon, and under ground, for the separate confinement of prisoners (Jer 37:16). Others (Scheid, in the Diss. Lugdun. p. 988) understand it to mean a curved post, i.e. the stocks (comp. Jer 20:2-3; Jer 29:26). The idea conveyed in either case is that the prophet suffered the most severe and loathsome imprisonment. SEE PRISON.

Cabin
CABIN.The Eng. word cabin is now chiefly confined to an apartment in a ship, but was formerly used of any small room. It occurs in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] for the cell (which is the word in AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] ) in which Jeremiah was confined (Jer 37:16). Cf. Spenser, FQ I. vi. 23
So long in secret cabin there he held
Her captive to his sensual desire.

Cabin
kabin (, hanuyyoth, vaults; Jer 37:16 the Revised Version (British and American), cells): In the East the prison often consisted of a pit (compare dungeon-house the Revised Version (British and American) and house of the pit the Revised Version, margin) with vaulted cells around it for the confinement of prisoners. The word is probably a gloss. The phrase and into the cells seems superfluous after into the dungeonhouse.
