‘And according to the entrances of the chambers that were towards the south was an entrance at the head of the way, the way before the wall towards the east as one enters them.'
The south chambers, which parallel the north chambers are now introduced as a matter of fact. They are simply assumed. It is pointed out that they too had an entrance towards the east (compare Ezekiel 42:9) similar to those that they had towards the south (compare Ezekiel 42:4). The latter were entered by the walkway, at the end of which was the entrance, which was used for access to the walkway and thus entry into entrances of the chambers, and looked towards the east wall.
