Court. (Hebrew, chatser). An open enclosure surrounded by buildings, applied, in the Authorized Version, most commonly to the enclosures of the Tabernacle and the Temple. Exo_27:9; Exo_40:33; Lev_6:16; 1Ki_6:36; 1Ki_7:8; 2Ki_23:12; 2Ch_33:5, etc.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


an entrance into a palace or house (See House.) The great courts belonging to the temple of Jerusalem were three; the first called the court of the Gentiles, because the Gentiles were allowed to enter so far, and no farther; the second was the court of Israel, because all the Israelites, provided they were purified, had a right of admission into it; the third was that of the priests, where the altar of burnt-offerings stood, where the priests and Levites exercised their ministry. Common Israelites, who were desirous of offering sacrifices, were at liberty to bring their victims as far as the inner part of the court; but they could not pass a certain line of separation, which divided it into two; and they withdrew as soon as they had delivered their sacrifices and offerings to the priests, or had made their confession with the ceremony of laying their hands upon the head of the victim, if it were a sin-offering. Before the temple was built, there was a court belonging to the tabernacle, but not near so large as that of the temple, and encompassed only with pillars, and veils hung with cords.

Court
an open enclosure, applied in, the A.V. most commonly to the enclosures of the Tabernacle and the Temple. 1. The Hebrew word invariably used for the former is חָצֵר, chatser', from. חָצִר, to surround (Gesenius, Thes. Heb. p. 512). (See, e.g., Exo_27:9 to xl, 33; Lev_6:16; Num_3:26, etc.) The same word is also most frequently used for the “courts” of the Temple, as 1Ki_6:36; 1Ki_7:8; 1Kings 23:12; 1 Chronicles 33:5; Psa_92:13, etc. SEE TABERNACLE; SEE TEMPLE. The same word is very often employed for the enclosures of the “villages” of Palestine, and under the form of Hazer or Hazor (q.v.) frequently occurs in the names of places in the A. V. SEE VILLAGE. It also designates the court of a prison (Neh_3:25; Jer_32:2, etc.), of a private house (2Sa_17:18), and of a palace (2Ki_20:4; Est_1:5, etc.). In Isaiah 34:19, “court for owls,” the cognate חָצַיר, chatsir', is found. 2. In 2Ch_4:9; 2Ch_6:13, however, a different word is employed, apparently, for the above sacred places oratoria עֲזָרָה, azarah, from a root of similar meaning. This word also occurs in Eze_43:14; Eze_43:17; Eze_43:20; Eze_45:19 (A. V. “settle”), but apparently with reference to the ledge or offset of the altar (q.v.) 3. In Amo_7:13, where the Hebrew word is בֵּית, beyth, a “house,” our translators, anxious to use a term applicable specially to a king's residence, have put “court.” 4. In the Apocrypha αὐλή is rendered “court” with respect to the Temple (1Es_9:1; 1Ma_4:38; 1Ma_9:54), or the palace (1Ma_11:46), which latter is expressed also (1Ma_13:40) by a periphrasis (τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν). 5. In the N.T. the word αὐλή designates such an open court (as it is once rendered, Rev_11:2, referring to the temple; elsewhere “hall” or “palace”); and βασίλεια, a palace, is once (Luk_7:25) rendered “kings' courts.” SEE PALACE.
The term תָּוְךְ, ta'vek (fully תּוֹךְ הִבִּיַת, middle of the house, 1Sa_4:6), also designates in Hebrew the quadrangular area in Eastern houses, denominated in the New Testament τὸ μέσον, the center or “midst” (Luk_5:19). This court is sometimes paved with marble of various kinds, and in the center there is usually a fountain, if the situation of the place admits of it. The court is generally surrounded on all sides, but sometimes only on one side, with a cloister or covered walk, called מוּסָךְ, musak', over which, if the house have more than one story, is a gallery of the same dimensions, supported by columns. Large companies were received into the court on particular occasions (Est_1:5; Luk_5:19). At such times, a large veil of thick cloth was extended by ropes over the whole of the court, in order to exclude the heat of the sun. This veil or curtain of the area may be that termed in the New Testament στέγη, covering, or “roof” (Mar_2:4; Luk_7:6). SEE HOUSE.
