A chest; Hebrew, dja wOra "one chest." This is more accurately described in ver. 9 of the parallel. Without at the gate of the house of the Lord; i.e. in the court opposite the porch, and, as we learn from the parallel, by the side of the altar of burnt offering. Now, not the priests generally, but simply those who kept the door, (probably the north Eze_11:3-5) receiving the contributions of the people at their hands, into their own hands deposited them in the one chest.
