Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.

Then he went to the gate facing east. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate as 10? feet deep.

as well as the thresholds, narrow windows and galleries all around on three sides facing the threshold were paneled with wood all around, from the ground up to the windows (now the windows were covered),

Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple. I noticed that water was flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from under the right side of the temple, from south of the altar.
