A Surrounding Court
40:14-17

• Traditionally "the east gate" has been the place of the judgment seat. The first judges were "elohim" per Exodus 21:6; 22:8-9, who judged matters under the Law of Moses before the temple was ever built. Here, each "gate" house of the sanctuary has six court rooms. Altogether there are eighteen such rooms on each pavement of the sanctuary, but the purpose for some of these rooms varies.
• Each gate "house" of the Outer Court is surrounded by its own lesser court of 60 cubits in width on each side. This courtyard surrounding each "house" is located upon a pavement.
• Thirty chambers -- of unspecified dimensions -- are also located upon the pavement of the Outer Court beyond the "posts" of the lesser surrounding court. Their precise location is not stated. No measurements are given for these chambers. But in order to locate 30 chambers upon this pavement, the remaining area left -- after the three gate buildings and their surrounding courts are taken into consideration -- must be calculated...
