'Inward' in the Bible

And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

And there were closed windows to the chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the projections; and the windows round about were inward; and upon each post were palm-trees.

and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, and a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.
