The gate toward the north; the north gate of the outer court, these were directly over each other.
And toward the east: it is concise, but thus to be expressed fully: The east gate of the inner court was directly over against the east gate of the outer court, and equally distant from each other.

and behold a gate toward the south; that led to the southern part of this fabric, and to the outward court there, exactly like the other two; there was no difference in them, which raised the prophet's wonder and attention; for, as Lipman (k) says, there was no outward court in the second temple, but to the east of the inward; and it did not encompass the other sides; and so the more wonderful:

Eze 40:23. The gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, &c. — The words may be translated more intelligibly thus: And the gate of the inner court was proportionable, or answerable, to the gate that was toward the north and toward the east. The expression is elliptical, like that of Eze 40:19, and the full import of it is, that the north gate of the inner court did exactly answer this north gate of the outer court, described Eze 40:20; Eze 40:22. And in like manner the east gate of the inner court answered the east gate of the outward court.
