EZEKIEL 40:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.”
Its windows and those of the vestibule and its palm decorations were the same as the gate facing the east, and seven steps led up to it, and its vestibule was ahead of them—indicating that the northern gate has the same decorative features as the eastern gate and is accessed by ascending seven steps. The repetition of windows and palm decorations emphasizes consistency across gates. The seven steps suggest ritual ascent; the number seven has sacred significance. The specification of vestibule ahead suggests processional arrangement; passage requires moving through the vestibule first. This verse confirms the decorative and processional features of the northern gate.
