View of the Temple's Square
40:44; 42:14

• The temple building is located upon the eastern end of the highest court level of the structure like a city. Steps lead up to this level (through the low wall) to the porch of the temple.
• The site of the "door" to the north and of the "door" to the south of the "place left" is indefinitely stated. The location is therefore arbitrarily set at the north and south ends of the terrace at the rear (west end) of the temple building, at the site of "the place that was left."
• The house with its side-chambers is surrounded by a court of 20 cubits in width, (width measured away from the temple building). This court, or separate place, also called "the twenty," is a place between the priests chambers on either side. The western section of this court is directly in front of the building to the west.
• Appparently the situation of the highest court is quite impressive, "beautiful for elevation;" for Ezekiel was caused to exclaim in wonder at the loftiness of the "house" as he was brought through this area of the "structure-like-a-city."
• Chambers for the use of the priests ministering to the altar are located to the north and to the south of the temple's square.
