To dwell, to wit, alone in quietness, as appears from the opposite clause. Of the house-top; of the roof of the house, which in those countries was flat and plain, and habitable, but was exposed to all the injuries of the weather. In a wide house; or, in a common house; or, a house of society, where husband and wife live together, or which is capable of many friends or companies.
