'Upper' in the Bible

Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.

Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.

The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
