ezekiel 40:18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.

ezekiel 40:18 And the pavement ([that is], the lower pavement) [was] by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates.

18. The higher pavement was level with the entrance of the gates, the lower was on either side of the raised pavement thus formed. Whereas Solomon's temple had an outer court open to alterations and even idolatrous innovations (2Ki 23:11, 12; 1Ch 20:5), in this there was to be no room for human corruptions. Its compass was exactly defined, one hundred cubits; and the fine pavement implied it was to be trodden only by clean feet (compare Isa 35:8).

ezekiel 40:18 And the pavement ([that is], the lower pavement) [was] by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates.
