What Does 1 Kings 6:36 Mean?
Beyond the house itself, Solomon builds the inner court, its wall made of three rows of hewn stone crowned with a row of cedar beams. The sacred space is set within an ordered enclosure.
Around the house God's people would gather, and even this surrounding court is built with care, stone and cedar joined in measured rows. Worship has its gathering place as well as its inner sanctuary. The God who dwells within also welcomes a people to assemble near, and the well-built court speaks of room prepared for many to draw close together to Him.
