A wind ¹  lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Lord’s temple that faces the east. There, at the entrance of the gate, I noticed twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, officials of the people. ² 

There were closed windows toward the alcoves and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. There were windows all around the inside, and on each jamb were decorative palm trees. ¹ 

Then he brought me to the gate that faced toward the east.

The glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate that faces east.

He was afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!”

As Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate, he said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
