EZEKIEL 40:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Then he brought me into the outer courtyard, and behold, there were chambers around the courtyard, and a pavement of stone was made all around the courtyard—introducing the outer courtyard as a major space within the temple complex. The chambers around the courtyard likely serve priestly or administrative functions. The stone pavement suggests a carefully constructed surface and emphasizes the ordered, precise nature of the sacred precinct. The comprehensive paving establishes the entire courtyard as a prepared space for gathering and worship. This verse introduces the major open space surrounding the gates and structural divisions.
