* courts.
   These courts in the corners of the outer court, or court of
   the people, appear to have been a kind of uncovered
   apartments, surrounded with little chambers for the cooks, and
   used for dressing the peace offerings of the people.  On these
   their families and friends feasted; and portions were sent to
   the poor, the widow, and the orphan; and thus the spirit of
   devotion preserved the spirit of mercy, charity, and
   benevolence, in the land.

 * joined.  or, made with chimneys.  corners.  Heb. cornered.
