| And they laid hands on her - Most modern critics render - "and they gave her space," i. e., they cleared a way for her, and allowed her to walk out of the temple not only unharmed but untonched. |

By the way - which the horses came - They probably brought her out near the king's stables. It has been supposed, from Eze 46:1, Eze 46:2, that the east gate of the inner court was that by which the king entered on the Sabbath day, whereas on all other days he entered by the south gate.
And there was another gate, called the horse gate, in the wall of the city, (Jer 31:40), for the king's horses to go out at from the stables at Millo, which is therefore called, Ch2 23:15, the horse gate toward the king's house. |

2 And the prince [05387] shall enter [0935] by the way [01870] of the porch [0197] of that gate [08179] without [02351], and shall stand [05975] by the post [04201] of the gate [08179], and the priests [03548] shall prepare [06213] his burnt offering [05930] and his peace offerings [08002], and he shall worship [07812] at the threshold [04670] of the gate [08179]: then he shall go forth [03318]; but the gate [08179] shall not be shut [05462] until the evening [06153].
1 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; The gate [08179] of the inner [06442] court [02691] that looketh [06437] toward the east [06921] shall be shut [05462] the six [08337] working [04639] days [03117]; but on the sabbath [07676] [03117] it shall be opened [06605], and in the day [03117] of the new moon [02320] it shall be opened [06605].
