COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

14. third entry —The Hebrews in determining the position of places faced the east, which they termed "that which is in front"; the south was thus called "that which is on the right hand"; the north, "that which is on the left hand"; the west, "that which is behind." So beginning with the east they might term it the first or principal entry; the south the second entry; the north the " third entry" of the outer or inner court [MAURER]. The third gate of the temple facing the palace; for through it the entrance lay from the palace into the temple ( 1 Kings 10:5 ; 1 Kings 10:12 ). It was westward ( 1 Chronicles 26:16 ; 1 Chronicles 26:18 ; 2 Chronicles 9:11 ) [GROTIUS]. But in the future temple it is eastward ( Ezekiel 46:1 ; Ezekiel 46:2 ; Ezekiel 46:8 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
