Ezekiel 46:22
court .... courts <02691> [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.

This was the door out of the porch into the sanctuary, which seems to have been wider than that from the court to the porch.

Ezekiel 4:6
40 days ...... day ... each <0705 03117> [forty days.]
This represented the forty years during which gross idolatry prevailed in Judah, from the reformation of Josiah, B.C. 624, to the same final desolation of the land. Some think that the period of 390 days also predicts the duration of the siege of the Babylonians, (ver. 9,) deducting from it five months and twenty-nine days, when the besiegers went to meet the Egyptians (2 Ki 25:1-4; Jer 37:5;) and that forty days may have been employed in desolating the temple and city. "Beginning from 2 Ki 23:3, 23. Ending Jer 52:30."
days ...... day ... each year <08141 03117> [each day for a year. Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year.]
Ezekiel 29:12
desolation .... midst ............ desolate .... midst <08077 08432> [desolate in.]
scatter <06327> [and I will scatter.]
We learn from Berosus that Nebuchadnezzar sent several captive Egyptians to Babylon; and from Megasthenes, that he transplanted others to Pontus; and it is probable, that at the dissolution of the Babylonian empire, about forty years after, Cyrus permitted them to return to their native country.
