**The whole BDB entry:** adj. appropriate, suitable? (cf. NH Aramaic supr.)—הַגְּדֶרֶת הֲגִינָה Ez 42:12 the corresponding (?) wall, Ke; otherwise Vrss (𝔊 καλάμου, 𝔙 separatum, etc.); Thes connects הגין with preceding דֶּרֶךְ, ‘aptus, idoneus (de via),’ AV RV ‘the way directly before the wall;’ in neither connexion does it give good sense, and the text is doubtless wrong cf. Sm Da; Co conj. החצר החיצונה the outer court.

Why these entries: BDB: another headword, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (1 candidates); OSHB: another headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (1 candidates)
