 {The court} (	(886e) aul(886e)). The uncovered yard outside the
house. There were usually two, one between the door and the
street, the outer court, the other the inner court surrounded by
the buildings ( Mr 14:66 ). This is here the outer court, "which
is without the temple" (	(886e) ex(9374)hen tou naou), outside of the
sanctuary, but within the hieron where the Gentiles could go
(carrying out the imagery of the Jerusalem temple). {Leave
without} (ekbale ex(9374)hen). Literally, "cast without" (second
aorist active imperative of ekball(935c). {Do not measure it} (m(880a)aut(886e) metr(8873)(8869)s). Prohibition with m(885c) and the first aorist
active (ingressive) subjunctive of metre(935c). This outer court is
left to its fate. In Herod's temple the outer court was marked
off from the inner by "the middle wall of partition" (	o
mesoitoichon tou phragmou,  Eph 2:15 ), beyond which a Gentile
could not go. In this outer court was a house of prayer for the
Gentiles ( Mr 11:17 ), but now John is to cast it out and leave
to its fate (given to the Gentiles in another sense) to be
profaned by them. {They shall tread under foot} (pat(8873)ousin).
Future active of pate(935c), here to trample with contempt as in  Lu
21:24 , even the holy city ( Mt 4:5  Isa 48:2  Ne 11:1 ). Charles
thinks that only the heavenly city can be so called here
( 21:2,10  22:19 ) because of  11:8  (Sodom and Gomorrah). But
the language may be merely symbolical. See  Da 9:24 . {Forty and
two months} (m(886e)as tesserakonta kai duo). Accusative of extent
of time. This period in  Da 7:25  12:7 . It occurs in three forms
in the Apocalypse (forty-two months, here and  13:5 ; 1260 days,
 11:3  12:6 ; time, times and half a time or 3 1/2 years,  12:14 
and so in Daniel). This period, however its length may be
construed, covers the duration of the triumph of the Gentiles, of
the prophesying of the two witnesses, of the sojourn of the woman
in the wilderness.
