Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house,

the Lord;
as he had seen at the eastern gate, ( Ezekiel 43:2 Ezekiel 43:4 Ezekiel 43:5 ) : and I fell upon my face;
as he had done before, under a sense of the greatness and glory of the divine Majesty, and of his own vileness and unworthiness; see ( Ezekiel 43:3 ) .
