is employed in the A.V. as the equivalent of no less than four Heb. and eight Greek terms. The only one of these, however, which need be noticed here is (Mat 23:6; Mar 12:39; Luk 14:7-8; Luk 20:46), which signifies, not a room in the sense we commonly attach to it of a chamber, but the highest place on the highest couch round the dinner or supper table the uppermost seat, as it is more accurately rendered in Luk 11:43. SEE MEAL. The word seat is, however, generally appropriated by our translators to , which seems to mean some kind of official chair. In Luk 14:9-10, they have rendered by both place and room. SEE UPPER ROOM.<\/p>\n
The convenience of dividing habitations into separate apartments early suggested itself. We read of various kinds of rooms in Scripture bedchamber, inner chamber, upper chamber, bride chamber, guest chamber, guard chamber, of the king’s house. In early times the females and children of the family slept in one room, on a separate beds, and the males in another. SEE CHAMBER.<\/p>\n
In Mat 23:6; Mar 12:39; Luk 14:7-8; Luk 20:46, not in our sense, but “place at table”. Expressed in Luk 11:43 “uppermost”. (See REHOBOTH.)<\/p>\n

For the upper room, see ib. 5, and for the now obsolete use of room in the sense of place at table, as the chief room (Luk 14:7), the highest room (v. 8RV [Note: Revised Version.] in both cases chief seat), or the uppermost room (Mat 23:6, Mar 12:39, RV [Note: Revised Version.] chief place), see Meals, 6.<\/p>\n

Room. The references to “room” in Mat 23:6; Mar 12:39; Luk 14:7-8; Luk 20:46, signify the highest place, on the highest couch, round the dinner or supper table — the “uppermost seat”, as it is more accurately rendered in Luk 11:43.<\/p>\n
“a place,” is translated “room” in Luk 2:7<\/span>; Luk 14:22<\/span>, i.e., “place;” in the AV in Luk 14:9-10<\/span>, RV, “place” (of a couch at a feast); of a position or condition which a person occupies, 1Co 14:16<\/span> (RV, “place”). See OPPORTUNITY, PLACE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “the chief reclining place at table,” is rendered “uppermost rooms,” in Mat 23:6<\/span>, AV (RV, “chief place”); in Mar 12:39<\/span>, “uppermost rooms,” AV (RV, “chief places”); in Luk 14:7<\/span>, “chief rooms,” AV (RV, “chief seats”); in Luk 14:8<\/span>, AV, “highest room” (RV, “chief seat”); in Luk 20:46<\/span>, AV, “highest seats” (RV, “chief seats”). See CHIEF, B, No. 7, PLACE, No. 5. <\/p>\n “an upper room” (ana, “above,” ge, “ground”), occurs in Mar 14:15<\/span>; Luk 22:12<\/span>, “a chamber,” often over a porch, or connected with the roof, where meals were taken and privacy obtained. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n the neuter of the adjective huperoos, “upper” (from huper, “above”), used as a noun, denoted in classical Greek “an upper story” or “room” where the women resided; in the Sept. and the NT, “an upper chamber, a roof-chamber,” built on the flat “roof” of the house, Act 1:13<\/span>, RV, “upper chamber” (AV “upper room”); see CHAMBER, No. 2. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to make room,” is translated “there was … room” in Mar 2:2<\/span>. See CONTAIN, No. 1 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “in place of, instead of,” is translated “in the room of” in Mat 2:22<\/span>. <\/p>\n Notes: (1) In Luk 12:17<\/span>, AV, pou, “anywhere” or “where,” with a negative, is translated “no room” (RV, “not where”). (2) In Act 24:27<\/span>, AV, diadochos, “a successor,” with lambano, “to receive,” is translated “came into (Felix’) room,” RV, “(Felix) was succeeded by.” Diadochos often meant a deputy, a temporary successor.” <\/p>\n Psa 31:8 (a) No doubt this refers to the liberty, power and freedom which that soul experiences which meets JESUS CHRIST, and is set free by the Son of GOD.<\/p>\n Mat 23:6 (b) We have here a picture of the pride in man’s heart which makes him desire a place of recognition among those with whom he is associated.
