a.za.rah denotes an enclosed court or bounded area, including a measured enclosure associated with the altar.

The term denotes a bounded enclosure: in the Chronicles passages it is a large court-like area with doors or a place containing Solomon's bronze platform, while Ezekiel uses it for measured areas and corners associated with the altar.

1. Measured enclosure associated with the altar · dominant

   In Ezekiel 43:14 the singular absolute form occurs in measurements from a lower enclosure to a small and then a great enclosure. Ezekiel 43:17 gives its length, width, border, surrounding bosom, and eastward steps; Ezekiel 43:20 and Ezekiel 45:19 place blood on its corners in clauses concerning the altar.

2. Court-like enclosed area · common

   In 2 Chronicles 4:9, two singular absolute forms occur where the APB renders a large enclosure with doors. In 2 Chronicles 6:13, the same form locates Solomon's bronze basin in the midst of the enclosure before he kneels before Israel's assembly.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as “enclosure,” including “large,” “lower,” “small,” and “great” enclosures where the surrounding clauses distinguish them. Those modifiers describe the verse's presentation rather than separate renderings of the term.
