Verse 17
Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
The outward court — So called in regard of the more inward court, between that where he was, and the temple itself; this court, was the second about the temple.
Chambers — Not only lodging rooms for the priests, but also store-houses for tithes and offerings.
A pavement — A beautiful floor laid with checker works. The whole floor of this court was thus paved.
Thirty chambers — That is, fifteen on the south side of the gate, and fifteen on the north side, built over the pavement.
