Exegesis
The noun niš-kāh {נִשְׁכָּ֔ה | niš-kāh} ‘chamber’ appears in the locative phrase bə-ḥaṣṯrê bêyt hā-ʼĕlōhîm {בְּחַצְרֵ֖י בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים | bə-ḥaṣṯrê bêyt hā-ʼĕlō-hîm} ‘in the courts of the house of God,’ completing a multi-stage construct chain. This structure highlights the impropriety of allotting private space within a sacred precinct.
