Hall
Hall
occurs in the A.V. of the N.T. three times; twice (Mat 27:27; Mar 15:16) in reference to the , praetorium, or residence of the Roman governor at Jerusalem, which was either the palace built by the elder Herod, or the tower of Antonia; his usual abode was at Csesarea (Act 23:23). Mark adds to the word , as he is wont in other cases, an explanatory phrase, (Vulg. atrium praetorii). In Luk 22:55, ) means the open court or quadrangle belonging to the high priest’s house, such as was common to Oriental dwellings. It has the same meaning in Mat 26:69, and Mar 14:66, and in both passages is incorrectly rendered palace in the A.V., as the adverbs and plainly distinguish the from the to which it was attached (Luk 22:54). So in Luk 11:21. In Joh 10:1; Joh 10:16, it means a sheep-fold, and in Rev 11:2, the outer court of the Temple. The was entered from the street by a or vestibule (Mar 14:68), through a or portal (Mat 26:71), in which was a or wicket (Joh 18:16; Act 12:13). Kitto. s.v. is the equivalent for , an enclosed or fortified space (Gesenius, Tesaur. p. 512), in many places in the O.T. where the Vulg. and A. Vers. have respectively villa or viculus, village, or atritum, court, chiefly of the tabernacle or Temple. See Coar. The hall or court of a house or palace would probably be an enclosed but uncovered space, implucium , on a lower level than the apartments of the lowest floor which looked into it. SEE HOUSE.

Hall
(Gr. aule, Luke 22:55; R.V., “court”), the open court or quadrangle belonging to the high priest’s house. In Matt. 26:69 and Mark 14:66 this word is incorrectly rendered “palace” in the Authorized Version, but correctly “court” in the Revised Version. In John 10:1, 16 it means a “sheep-fold.” In Matt. 27:27 and Mark 15:16 (A.V., “common hall;” R.V., “palace”) it refers to the proetorium or residence of the Roman governor at Jerusalem. The “porch” in Matt. 26:71 is the entrance-hall or passage leading into the central court, which is open to the sky.

Hall
HALL.Hall appears in the Authorized Version in a way to cause not a little confusion, as translation sometimes of and sometimes of . In Mat 27:27 Authorized Version has the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall (a circumlocution for ). In Mar 15:15 Authorized Version has into the hall called Praetorium, as translation of law . Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 has not entirely relieved this confusion. The English Revisers render by palace, following Rhem. [Note: Rhemish NT 1582.] ; while the American Revisers, more literally, give praetorium, the Latin word which was carried over, transliterated, into the Greek, and which denoted originally the praetors tent or abode, or the generals headquarters. Tindale introduced judgement-hall for , and is followed by Authorized Version in Joh 18:28; Joh 18:33; Joh 19:9 etc. The Authorized Version renders by palace in Mat 26:3; Mat 26:58; Mat 26:69, Mar 14:54; Mar 14:66, Luk 11:21, Joh 18:15, when the reference is to the place where the governor dispensed justice; by fold in Joh 10:1; Joh 10:16 of the place where the sheep were kept at night; and by court in Rev 11:2, as designating the court of the temple. Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 more consistently renders by court instead of palace, everywhere except in Joh 10:1 , where it has the fold of the sheep (cf. Authorized Version sheepfold), and in Joh 10:16, where it has simply fold. Cf. Mat 26:3; Mat 26:58; Mat 26:69, where the inner court of the high priests official residence seems to be meant; in Mat 26:69 Peter sat without in the palace (Authorized Version ); without stands in contrast with the audience-room in which Jesus was appearing before the authorities, i.e. Peter was not in the room of the official residence where the trial was going on, but out in the open court, around which the house was built; and this was beneath, or on a lower level than the audience-room. See also Court, Praetorium.
