It may be assumed that the inner court, from its size and arrangements, was for the priests engaged in the sacrifices, and the outer for the people generally. A pavement.--Comp. 2Chronicles 7:3; Esther 1:6. The word is generally understood to mean a tesselated or mosaic pavement. . . . Verses 17-19. - The outer court. Emerging from the doorway inwards, the prophet, accompanied by his celestial guide, stepped into the outward court, i.e. the area surrounding the temple buildings. There the first thing observed was that chambers and a pavement ran round the court. The chambers were cells, or rooms - לִשָׁכות always signifying single rooms in a building (see Ezekiel 42:1; 1 Chronicles 9:26) - whose dimensions, exact sites, and uses are not specified, though, as they were thirty in number, it is probable they were arranged on the east, north, and south sides of the court, five upon each side of the gate, and standing somewhat apart from each other; that they were large enough to contain as many as thirty persons (see 1 Samuel 9:22; and comp. Jeremiah 35:2); and that they were designed for sacrificial meals and such-like purposes (see Ezekiel 44:1, etc.). In pre-exilic times such halls had been occupied by distinguished person s connected with the temple service (see Ezekiel 8:8-12; 2 Kings 23:11; Jeremiah 35:4, etc.; Jeremiah 36:10; Ezra 10:6). The pavement was a tessellated floor (comp. Esther 1:6; 2 Chronicles 7:3), which ran round the court and was named the lower pavement, to distinguish it from that laid in the inner court which stood at a higher elevation than the outer. As another note of position, it is stated to have been by the side (literally, shoulder) of the gates over against - or, answerable to (Revised Version) - the length of the gates. This can only mean that the breadth of the pavement was fifty cubits (the length of the gates, ver. 15) less six cubits (the thickness of the wall, ver. 5), or forty-four cubits, and that it ran along the inner length of the wall on either side of the gates. The breadth of the court from the forefront of the lower gate, i.e. from the inner end of the east gate or the edge of the pavement, unto the forefront of the inner court without was an hundred cubits. Whether the measurement was up to the wall of the inner court, within which, on this hypothesis, its gate must have wholly lain, or only up to the door of the inner court, which, on this understanding, must have projected beyond its wall, is obscure. The first interpretation derives support from the circumstance that the terminus ad quem of the measurement is said to have been, not the inner gate, but the inner court; while the second finds countenance in the use of the preposition מִחוּצ, which seems to indicate that the measuring proceeded from the western extremity of the outer gate to the eastern extremity of the inner gate, and appears to be confirmed by vers. 23 and 27, as well as by the consideration that in this way the symmetry of the building would be better preserved than by making the outer gate project into the court and the inner gate lie wholly within the inner wall. In this way the hundred cubits marked the distance between the extremities of the gates, the whole breadth of the court being two hundred cubits, i.e. a hundred cubits between the gates, with two gates' lengths of fifty cubits each added. The same measurements applied to the north gate, which the seer next approached.Hebrew Then he broughtוַיְבִיאֵ֗נִי (way·ḇî·’ê·nî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | first person common singular Strong's 935: To come in, come, go in, go me into אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition Strong's 413: Near, with, among, to the outer הַחִ֣יצוֹנָ֔ה (ha·ḥî·ṣō·w·nāh) Article | Adjective - feminine singular Strong's 2435: The, wall side, exterior, secular court, הֶֽחָצֵר֙ (he·ḥā·ṣêr) Article | Noun - common singular Strong's 2691: A yard, a hamlet and there וְהִנֵּ֤ה (wə·hin·nêh) Conjunctive waw | Interjection Strong's 2009: Lo! behold! were chambers לְשָׁכוֹת֙ (lə·šā·ḵō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural Strong's 3957: Room, chamber, hall, cell and a pavement וְרִֽצְפָ֔ה (wə·riṣ·p̄āh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular Strong's 7531: A hot stone, a tessellated pavement laid out עָשׂ֥וּי (‘ā·śui) Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular Strong's 6213: To do, make all around סָבִ֣יב ׀ (sā·ḇîḇ) Adverb Strong's 5439: A circle, neighbour, environs, around the court. לֶחָצֵ֖ר (le·ḥā·ṣêr) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - common singular Strong's 2691: A yard, a hamlet Thirty שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים (šə·lō·šîm) Number - common plural Strong's 7970: Thirty, thirtieth chambers לְשָׁכ֖וֹת (lə·šā·ḵō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural Strong's 3957: Room, chamber, hall, cell faced אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition Strong's 413: Near, with, among, to the pavement, הָרִֽצְפָֽה׃ (hā·riṣ·p̄āh) Article | Noun - feminine singular Strong's 7531: A hot stone, a tessellated pavement Links Ezekiel 40:17 NIVEzekiel 40:17 NLT Ezekiel 40:17 ESV Ezekiel 40:17 NASB Ezekiel 40:17 KJV Ezekiel 40:17 BibleApps.com Ezekiel 40:17 Biblia Paralela Ezekiel 40:17 Chinese Bible Ezekiel 40:17 French Bible Ezekiel 40:17 Catholic Bible OT Prophets: Ezekiel 40:17 Then brought he me into the outer (Ezek.
