Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 2691 (חָצֵר, chatser): Refers to a courtyard or enclosure. - Strong's Hebrew 5835 (עֲזָרָה, azarah): Refers to a court or enclosure, often used in the context of the temple. Usage: The Greek word "aulé" primarily refers to an open courtyard or enclosed space, often associated with a dwelling or a palace. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the outer courts of the temple, the courtyard of a house, or the courtyard of a palace. It can also refer to the area where people gather, such as the courtyard of the high priest where Peter denied Jesus. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, a courtyard was a central feature of homes and public buildings. It served as a place for social gatherings, domestic activities, and sometimes religious ceremonies. In the context of the Jewish temple, the courtyard was a significant area where worshippers gathered, and it was divided into different sections, including the Court of the Gentiles and the Court of Women. The courtyard was also a place of judgment and public discourse.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 833: αὐλή αὐλή, αὐλῆς, ἡ (ἄω to blow; hence) properly, a place open to the air (διαπνεόμενος τόπος αὐλή λέγεται, Athen. 5, 15, p. 189 b.); 1. among the Greeks in Homers time an uncovered space around the house, enclosed by a wall, in which the stables stood (Homer, Odyssey 9, 185; Iliad 4, 433); hence, among the Orientals that roofless enclosure in the open country in which flocks were herded at night, a sheepfold: John 10:1, 16. 2. the uncovered court-yard of the house, Hebrew חָצֵר, the Sept. αὐλή, Vulg.atrium. In the O. T. particularly of the courts of the tabernacle and of the temple at Jerusalem; so in the N. T. once: Revelation 11:2 (τήν αὐλήν τήν ἔξωθεν (Rec.st ἔσωθεν) τοῦ ναοῦ). The dwellings of the higher classes usually had two αὐλαί, one exterior, between the door and the street, called also προαύλιον (which see); the other interior, surrounded by the buildings of the dwelling itself. The latter is mentioned Matthew 26:69 (where ἔξω is opposed to the room in which the judges were sitting); Mark 14:66; Luke 22:55. Cf. Winers RWB under the word Häuser; (B. D. American edition under the word ; BB. DD. under the word ). 3. the house itself a palace: Matthew 26:3, 58; Mark 14:54; Mark 15:16; Luke 11:21; John 18:15, and so very often in Greek writings from Homer, Odyssey 4, 74 down (cf. Eustathius 1483, 39 τῷ τῆς αὐλῆς ὀνόματι τά δώματα δηλοῖ, Suidas col. 652 c. αὐλή. ἡ τοῦ βασιλέως οἰκία. Yet this sense is denied to the N. T. by Meyer et al.; see Meyer on Matthew, the passage cited).
