2 Chronicles 29:4 - Exposition

The east street ; Hebrew, הַמִּזְרָח לִרְחוֹב . This word, rendered here "street," occurs forty-two times, and is always rendered by the same English word, except three times, when it appears as "broad places," or "ways." Probably it should always be translated thus, its meaning and its manifest preponderant use being "an open space" ( 2 Chronicles 32:6 ). So Revised Version: Into the broad place on the east, i.e. an open area east of the temple.
