Exegesis
The spatial phrase bein hachomotayim {בֵּין הַחֹמֹתַיִם | bêyn ha-ḥo-mô-tayim} identifies the site between the two walls, and the construct chain lemei habrekhah hayeshanah {לְמֵי הַבְּרֵכָה הַיְשָׁנָה | lə-mê hab-brê-kā hay-ša-nâ} specifies its purpose for the waters of the old pool.
In context — Isaiah 22:11
And you made a reservoir between the two walls for the waters of the old pool, but you did not look to Him who made it, nor did you see Him who formed it long ago.
