'Facing' in the Bible
He measured the gate of the outer court facing north, both its length and width.
The inner court had a gate facing the north gate, like the one on the east. He measured the distance from gate to gate; it was 175 feet.
Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, there were chambers for the singers: one beside the north gate, facing south, and another beside the south gate, facing north.
Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple yard to the west, with its galleries on each side; it was 175 feet.The interior of the great hall and the porticoes of the court—
For the chambers on the outer court were 87½ feet long, while those facing the great hall were 175 feet long.
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, there were chambers facing the temple yard and the western building,
there will be three gates facing north, the gates of the city being named for the tribes of Israel: one, the gate of Reuben; one, the gate of Judah; and one, the gate of Levi.
