Ezekiel 40:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:26

And there were seven steps to go up to it
To the south gate, as there were to the east and north gates, ( Ezekiel 40:6 Ezekiel 40:42 ) : and the arches thereof were before them; (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:22): and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon
