Description
The places listed above were for general storage. Their shape and structure are undefined. See also Armory, arsenal and Treasury, strongroom.
Translation
In most of the references listed above it is stated what was being stored. Where the commodity being stored is named, languages may have a special word for the particular place where such a commodity is stored; for example, in 1CH 27:27GNT has “Wine cellars” for the Hebrew word ’otsar. However, in the following verse, where the same word is used together with “oil,” GNT has “Olive oil storage,” because English has no special word for a place to store olive oil.
