'East facing' in the Bible

The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east facing gate of the LORD's Temple. At the entrance of the gate I saw 25 men. Included among them were Azzur's son Jaazaniah and Benaiah's son Pelatiah, who were princes of the people.

Its windows, porches, and palm tree ornaments had measurements identical to the east-facing gate. Reached by seven ascending steps, its porch lay to the front of the steps.

Then he brought me into the inner east-facing courtyard, where he measured the gate, identical to the others.

The front of the Temple and its east-facing courtyard were each 100 cubits long.

In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east facing the secluded place and facing the enclosing wall, were chambers. n

After he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the east-facing gate and measured it all around.

Next, he brought me to the east-facing gate,

while the glory of the LORD entered the Temple through the east-facing gate.

Then the Lord GOD brought me back through the east-facing outer gate of the sanctuary. But it was shut.

"This is what the Lord GOD says: "The inner, east-facing courtyard is to remain shut during the six working days of the week, but on the Sabbath day it is to be opened, as well as on the day of the New Moon.

Whenever the Regent Prince presents a voluntary offering, burnt offering, or peace offering, he is to present it voluntarily to the LORD, and the east-facing gate is to be opened for him. He is to provide his burnt offering and peace offering as he does on the Sabbath. When he leaves, the gate is to be shut behind him.
