In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a place of privacy and intimacy, particularly in the context of prayer.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Jewish households, a "tameion" was a small, inner room used for storing valuables or as a private chamber. These rooms were typically located away from the main living areas, providing a secluded space for personal activities. In the context of Jewish religious practices, privacy in prayer was valued, contrasting with the public displays of piety that were sometimes criticized by Jesus.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>later form of tamieion (treasury)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an inner chamber<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>inner room (1), inner rooms (2), storeroom (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5009: ταμεῖον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ταμεῖον</span></span> (so <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> uniformly), more correctly <span class="greek2">ταμιεῖον</span> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> in <a href="/interlinear/matthew/6-6.htm">Matthew 6:6</a>) (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 493;
