Ezekiel 42:9 - Exposition

The chambers were approached by an entry (in the text the entry , this being a well-known and recognized part of the structure) which ran along the east side of the building, and led from the outer to the temple court. As this (the outer) court was higher than that (the temple), and could only be reached by steps, "the entry" is represented as lying under the chambers. It was manifestly this "entry" that was screened by the fence mentioned in Ezekiel 42:7 .
