The Door of the Priests Court, which, together with the Temple and all its utensils, was committed to the charge of th[illegible: 1+ letters] Priests and Levites, Numb. 18. 4. 1 Chron. 9. 26, &c.

p. In the Priests Court. Obj. It was placed without, at the gate of the house of the Lord, 2 Chron. 24. 8. Ans. Either, First, It was first placed by the Altar, and afterwards thence removed to the Gate of the Court, for the peoples greater satisfaction, that they might come thither, and put in their Money with their own hands. Or, Secondly, That place 2 Chron. speaks of the Gate of the Temple strictly so called, nigh unto which the Altar of Burnt-Offerings was. Or, Thirdly, It was placed near the entrance into the Priests Court, which was over against the Altar, and not far from it, so as the people standing in their own Court, might either put their Money into it, or see when the Priests put it in.
