Commentary

4 notes on this verse
The entry from these chambers to the temple-court was by a passage lying to the east fenced off by the “wall” Eze 42:7. This passage is described as lying under the chambers, being on the basement, and also having access by steps to the temple-court, which was raised many steps above the outer court.

the entrance on the east side

on Ezekiel 42:9-12

The south side mirrors the north: chambers along the wall of the outer court, and the same length and width, “with similar exits and dimensions”. The sanctuary is ordered down to its storerooms, north answering south. The details stand in the text for the reader who wants them.

"And there was an entrance under these treasuries from the east for those who entered from the outer court: in the width of the courtyard of the eastern way before the separate building. And there were before the building treasuries, and a road in front of their face like the treasuries, which were on the northern side, according to their length, and thus their width.
