Jeremiah 26:7

So the priests and the prophets Namely, the false prophets; they who pretended to be prophets, though they had received no divine commission. And all the people Who were present at that time; heard Jeremiah, &c., in the house of the Lord That is, “In the court before the Lord's house. The outer courts, being holy ground, and dedicated to God's worship, are called by the name of the temple. So the treasury, where Christ preached, is called the temple, (John 8:20,) though it stood in the outer court of it. And St. Paul is said to have entered into the temple, Acts 21:26, &c.; that is, into the court of the temple, and the Jews to have laid hold on him there.” Lowth.
