Ascent. Heb. ‘aliyyah, “a roof chamber.” However, the reading should probably be ‘olah as in 1 Kings 10:5. ‘Olah may be translated “burnt offering.” Since ‘olah is, literally, “that which goes up,” some think that a causeway may be indicated, such as one providing the king with a private way from his palace to the Temple (see 1 Chron. 26:16; see on 1 Kings 10:5).
