Ezekiel 40:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:23

And the gate of the inward court was over against the gate
toward the north, and toward the east
Or, "and as to the east" {h}; that is, the north gate of the inner court was directly opposite to the north gate of the outward court; just as the eastern gate of the inward court was in a straight line opposite to the eastern gate of the outward court: and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits;
from the north gate of the outward court to the north gate of the inward court; and it was exactly of the same distance from one another as on the left side; see ( Ezekiel 40:19 ) .
