Afterward he brought me to the gate, {even} the gate that looketh toward the east:

When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy {place} into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they {are} holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to {those things} which {are} for the people.

Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, {which was} one reed broad; and the other threshold {of the gate, which was} one reed broad. {which looketh...: Heb. whose face was the way toward the east}

Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, {there were} chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers {were} upon the pavement.

And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect {is} toward the east.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.

And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,

Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all {men} every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

Afterward he brought me to the gate, {even} the gate that looketh toward the east:

Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, {which was} one reed broad; and the other threshold {of the gate, which was} one reed broad. {which looketh...: Heb. whose face was the way toward the east}

And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of {that} gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
