EXPLANATION

Verse 9. Hall, (basilicam.) Septuagint use the same term (αυλη) as just before is rendered court; and the Prot. make no distinction, though the Hebrew terms be different. Septuagint render chatsar, “the court” of the people. There, we know, that Solomon had his tribune. Calmet. 6:13. Ezechiel (43:14) distinguishes two; the great, lower or outward, ( Bible. chatsar) or court, and that of the priests, ( Bible.) which he styles the less, and so forth The principal door lay to the east.
