He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.

And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors thereof with bronze.

Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.

Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.

He made the court of the priests - This was the inner court.
And the great court - This was the outer court, or place for the assembling of the people.

Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great (f) court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
(f) Called also the porch of Solomon, (Acts 3:11). It is also taken for the temple where Christ preached, (Matthew 21:23).

The two courts are not further described. For the court of the priests, see on 1-Kings 6:36 and 1-Kings 7:12. As to the great or outer court, the only remark made is that it had doors, and its doors, i.e., the folds or leaves of the doors, were overlaid with copper. In 2-Chronicles 4:10 we have a supplementary statement as to the position of the brazen sea, which coincides with 1-Kings 7:39; see on the passage. In 2-Chronicles 4:11 the heavier brazen (copper) utensils, belonging to the altar of burnt-offering, are mentioned: סידות, pots for the removal of the ashes; יעים, shovels, to take the ashes out from the altar; and מזרקות, basins to catch and sprinkle the sacrificial blood. This half verse belongs to the preceding, notwithstanding that Huram is mentioned as the maker. This is clear beyond doubt, from the fact that the same utensils are again introduced in the summary catalogue which follows (2-Chronicles 4:16).
