Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 42:1

1 'THen he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the North and he brought me into the chamber that was over-against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the North .

After a particular view of the Temple, and all its parts, with the inmost Court, and all in it, the Prophet is brought forth.

called so, in regard to that more inward, whence the Prophet now cometh; it is likely, if not certain, this was the Priests Court, which had two others more outward, but because the Prophet had been in one more inward, than that of the Priests, he giveth the name of outer to this Court.

Thro' the North Gate by which he descended into the Court, where the stair case was by which he went up into the chambers, built over the Pylasters, and Arches, so that underneath was a Cloyster, or Gallery.

Either the singular number for the plural, or chamber, for the row of chambers, or else, into one of the many, that were there.

Whether you take it for the Temple it self, or for that Building equal to the Temple, on the West part of the Temple, still this row of chambers faced the North part of it.

The South front of this Range of chambers lookt to the North front of the Temple, and its that side buildings, or to the North front of the separate place.
