An architectural term in Ezekiel's temple vision, describing smaller courts positioned in the corners of the larger outer court. The word itself is disputed - it may mean 'cornered' or 'enclosed,' referring to courts set within corners. Many scholars and ancient versions question whether it belongs in the text at all, since architectural details in Ezekiel 40-46 are notoriously difficult. What's clear is that Ezekiel's temple vision includes intricate spatial arrangements with courts within courts, boundaries within boundaries, reflecting the gradations of holiness as one moves toward God's dwelling place. Even uncertain architectural terminology serves the vision's purpose: a renewed temple where God's glory returns.
