Narrow windowes to the chambers] Heb. closed. Narrow without to receive the light, and broader within to disperse and dilate it.
and to their posts] Or to their cloisters which were arched from post to post, and windowes made in those arches, partly for beauty, but chiefly to give light the more to the inferiour part of the chambers before which they stood: and in those cloisters which were forward beyond the chambers, which had no chambers at all behind them, there were windowes in their arches to make them the more lightsome and delightsome: and the posts of these cloisters were carved with Palme trees.
and likewise to the arches] Or, galleries, or porches. To those cloisters that were betweene the chambers of five yards or cubits broad, vers. 7. As the chambers had windowes, and the cloisters before them had windowes, so these cloisters that were betweene the chambers had windowes as well as those cloisters that ran along before them.
inward] Or, within.
