And there was a gate on the south of the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.
In these verses we have a delineation of the inner court. The survey of the outer court ended with the south side of it. This of the inner court begins with the south side (Eze 40:27), proceeds to the east (Eze 40:32), and so to the north (Eze 40:35); for here is no gate either of the outer or inner court towards the west.
Commenting on Ezekiel 40:27-38
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate,.... Having done with the outer court, east, north, and south, the prophet is brought into the inner court by the south gate, which was nearest to enter by.
The north and south gates mirror the east gate in all essential measure: fifty cubits long, twenty-five wide, with the same guard-rooms, pillars, windows, and palm ornaments. Uniformity governs this building; nothing is left to chance or whim.
