King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The breath carries you inward, and the LORD’s weight fills the house: ascent and fullness meet in one movement.
THE MEANING
The breath carries you into the inner court, where the LORD’s weight fills the house. What is brought inward meets no emptiness; the house is full.
THE ROOT
רוּחַ
Ruach
GROWS FROM
רוח
To blow or breathe; the same consonants also carry a sense of room or relief.
Ruach holds breath, wind, and spirit together in one word, so the force carrying you inward is also breath. Its related branch for relief or room echoes the movement from constriction toward spaciousness.
ALSO GROWS
ruach: Breath, wind, or spirit.
רוּחַ
The word that lifts the seer is also the breath and wind that move through the rest of scripture.
ravach: To find relief or room.
רָוַח
This related branch lets the breath’s movement inward resonate with the opening of space.
כָּבוֹד
Kavod
GROWS FROM
כבד
To be heavy or weighty.
“glory” in this verse is Kavod. Kavod carries the sense of weight, so the house is filled with more than brightness or reputation: it is filled with the LORD’s weight. The root’s other branches connect weight with honor, revealing presence as something substantial.
ALSO GROWS
kaved: Heavy or weighty.
כָּבֵד
This is the root’s concrete sense beneath the LORD’s kavod filling the house.
kibbed: To honor or treat as weighty.
כִּבֵּד
The root joins divine weight with honor: what fills the house carries the weight of the one present.
THE PATTERN
The divine presence fills its dwelling, making the inward place full.
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.THE THREAD
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.In both verses, ruach holds wind, breath, and spirit together in one word. Here it carries the seer inward; there the same breath is called over the slain, joining inward vision with life entering what has gone still.
