EZEKIEL 40:44 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.”
On the outside of the inner gate were the chambers for the singers in the inner court, one beside the north gate facing south, and one beside the south gate facing north—introducing chambers for singers (musicians) positioned at the inner gates. The singers suggest liturgical music as a component of temple worship. The positioning at gates emphasizes that music accompanies passage and ritual. The orientation (one facing south, one facing north) suggests balanced placement. This verse introduces the musicians' chambers.
