'South facing' in the Bible

The inner court contained a south-facing gate measuring 100 cubits from gate to gate toward the south.

Next, he brought me to the inner courtyard by way of the south-facing gate. He measured the south-facing gate as having measurements identical to the others.

The angel told me, "This south-facing chamber is for the priests who maintain the Temple,

The side chamber doorway facing the free space contained a single north-facing doorway and a second south-facing doorway. The width of the free space was five cubits all around the perimeter.

At the beginning of the wall of the court toward the south, facing the courtyard and the building, were chambers

After this, he brought me back to the doorway to the Temple. To my amazement, there was water flowing out toward the east from beneath the threshold of the Temple! (The Temple faced eastward.) The water flowed down from beneath the right side of the Temple, that is, from the south-facing side where the altar was located.
