Ezekiel 42:1

the utter court LXX. the innercourt. Something may be said for both. On the one hand the entrance-way to the chambers was from the outer court, and the prophet might have been first brought to the outer court and then by this way to the chambers in the inner court. This, however, is rather a complicated movement, and is not indicated; and perhaps the "inner" of LXX. has most probability. The position of the prophet is pretty clear, it was on the E. of the chambers, to the N. of the longer wing and facing it, Fig. 3, Q. LXX. reads "eastward" for "the way."

into the chamber unto the chambers. The word is sing. as collective. The "separate place" is the 20 cubits broad court running round the house on its three sides, Fig. 3, H. The longer wing of the block of cells ran along this "separate" place its whole length of 100 cubits, Fig. 3, G. The "building toward the N." is the wall of the outer court with its blocks of cells (Ezekiel 40:5), Fig. 3, B, C. As there was nothing between the wing of chambers on the N. wall of the inner court and this "building" or wall of the outer court with its cells, except the mere level of the court, the one is said to be over against the other.
