And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams, like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the court of the porch of the house.
Ibn Ezra
right this feminine adjective modifies the first of two nouns, as in “the inner [feminine] gate [feminine] of the court [masculine]” [I Kings 7:12]. I shall give the reason for the lobe and the thumb in the parasha of Meṣora‘ [comment on 14:14]. We see here that blood secures atonement for Aaron’s soul, as it is stated: “for the blood atones with the soul” [17:11] — meaning, it atones through the spirit of life which it formerly contained, in the sense of “a soul for a soul” [Exodus 21:23]. The phrase “she cast it down at his feet” [Exodus 4:25] addresses a similar idea.
