Officers and judges As for the court on the west The term "court" in this context refers to a designated area within the temple complex. The Hebrew word used here is "חָצֵר" (chatser), which can mean an enclosure or a courtyard.

The "west" side of the temple was often associated with the direction of the setting sun, symbolizing the end of a day and, metaphorically, the end of an era or life. In a spiritual sense, the west court could represent a place of reflection and completion, where one contemplates the day's or life's journey in the presence of God. there were four at the highway and two at the court At the causeway.--That is, the highway of 1Chronicles 26:16. These four warders, therefore, stood by the gate Shalleketh. Adding together the numbers given in 1Chronicles 26:17-18, we find that there were twenty-four warders on duty every day.
