It conveys the idea of a space that is surrounded by walls, indicating a defined area for specific activities.

How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb governing the verse is יּוֹצִיאֵ֗נִי, he brought me out, which initiates the action of bringing Ezekiel into the outer court. This is followed by a series of prepositional phrases that describe the direction and nature of the movement, leading to a description of the corners of the courtyard.
The structure emphasizes the sequential actions of bringing and leading, setting up a visual layout of the outer court with its four corners, each serving as a distinct area.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates חָצֵר as αὐλὴ (aulē), which means courtyard or enclosure. This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may imply a broader interpretation of the space as a gathering area.
The use of αὐλὴ highlights the communal aspect of the courtyard, suggesting a place not only for separation but also for gathering and interaction.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text describes the scene with specific details about the outer court and its corners, stating that there is a separate court in each corner. The Septuagint, while it matches 14 of the 16 words from the Masoretic Text, does not provide a complete translation for this verse, making it difficult to assess its agreement or differences fully. Therefore, the primary witness here is the Masoretic Text, which stands as the definitive source for this verse, while the Septuagint's lack of a complete rendering leaves some ambiguity.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
