Ancient writings were rolled round a cylinder or stick. Volume means so (Jeremiah 36:2; Psalms 40:7; compare Deuteronomy 31:26; Ezekiel 2:9-10, where the writing "within and without" was contrary to the usage of writing only on one side, implying the fullness of the prophecy of woe. The writing was in columns (delathot ), literally, doors, on parchment or prepared skins.
