For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;
Looking out from my house, and watching through the window,
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;
I looked through my casement - The casement is a small aperture in a large window, or a window opening on hinges. Here it means the lattice, for they had no glass windows in the East. And the latticed windows produced a double advantage
1. Making the apartments sufficiently private; and
2. Admitting fresh air to keep them cool.
Casement - The latticed opening of an Eastern house, overlooking the street (compare Judges 5:28).
