And there was a row of building round about in them, &c.] Within the courts, not on the outside of them: these were either chambers to eat the sacrifices in when boiled; or they were sheds which covered the cooks, and the meat they were boiling, from the rain, &c.: the Targum renders it, “and walls were made to them round about;” to the court: and so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret this row of building of a stone wall: round about them four; the four courts at the four corners: and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about; under these rows of building, chambers or sheds; or under these stone walls were furnaces, and coppers, and caldrons, set on them, for the boiling of the sacrifices.
