'Outer' in the Bible
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard from the outer court, like the sound of the sovereign God when he speaks.
Then he brought me to the outer court. I saw chambers there, and a pavement made for the court all around; thirty chambers faced the pavement.
He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces north.
Its porches faced the outer court, and decorative palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.
Its porches faced the outer court, it had decorative palm trees on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.
Its jambs faced the outer court, and it had decorative palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.
Then he brought me to the outer sanctuary, and measured the jambs; the jambs were 10? feet wide on each side.
The width of the entrance was 17? feet, and the sides of the entrance were 8? feet on each side. He measured the length of the outer sanctuary as 70 feet, and its width as 35 feet.
Then he measured its length as 35 feet, and its width as 35 feet, before the outer sanctuary. He said to me, "This is the most holy place."
The width of the outer wall of the side chambers was 8? feet, and the open area between the side chambers of the temple
Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, with its galleries on either side as 175 feet. The interior of the outer sanctuary and the porch of the court,
from the ground to the area above the entrance, cherubim and decorative palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary.
The doorposts of the outer sanctuary were square. In front of the sanctuary one doorpost looked just like the other.
The outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door.
On the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees, like those carved on the walls, and there was a canopy of wood on the front of the outside porch.
Then he led me out to the outer court, toward the north, and brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and opposite the building on the north.
Opposite the 35 feet that belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, gallery faced gallery in the three stories.
As for the outer wall by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, it was 87? feet long.
For the chambers on the outer court were 87? feet long, while those facing the temple were 175 feet long.
Below these chambers was a passage on the east side as one enters from the outer court.
When the priests enter, then they will not go out from the sanctuary to the outer court without taking off their garments in which they minister, for these are holy; they will put on other garments, then they will go near the places where the people are."
Then he brought me back by way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces east, but it was shut.
When they go out to the outer court to the people, they must remove the garments they were ministering in, and place them in the holy chambers; they must put on other garments so that they will not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.
He said to me, "This is the place where the priests will boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they will bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out to the outer court to transmit holiness to the people."
Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me past the four corners of the court, and I noticed that in every corner of the court there was a court.
He led me out by way of the north gate and brought me around the outside of the outer gate that faces toward the east; I noticed that the water was trickling out from the south side.
