Exegesis
The final prepositional marker lifnei {לִפְנֵי | lip̄-nê} ‘before’ sets a precise spatial orientation, focusing attention on hechatzar hachadashah {הֶחָצֵר הַחֲדָשָׁה | he-ḥā-ṣēr ha-ḥă-ḏā-šāh} ‘the new courtyard,’ which heightens the scene’s concreteness within the temple complex and prepares for an address offered in a prominent, visible place.
