The East Gate to the Outer Court
And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. Eze 40:10
the little chambers... Described here are accommodations for the ministering priest and temple officers who care for the temple.
posts had one... Each of the posts of the gate, on each side of the entrance through the 10 feet 6 inches wall and past the chambers on each side, from the inside of the wall to the porch of the gate measured 2 cubits—3 feet 6 inches (Eze. 40:9-10).
This was one of three gates leading into the outer court. Since it faced east, it was the most important gate.
