The way of the north gate; to the north gate of the inner court, whence he had a prospect of the temple, though no door to it on that side. Behold; through the windows of the temple he did discern that brightness and lustre which filled the temple. The glory of the Lord, & c.: see Ezekiel 1:28, Ezekiel 43:2.
