Corresponding to the openings of the chambers which were toward the south was an opening at the head of the way, the way in front of the wall toward the east, as one enters them.

So there was an entrance in the wall facing the doors of the inner block of rooms, and another on the east at the end of the interior walkway.

And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.

And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, as one enters them, there was a door in front of the walk, the way directly in front of the wall toward the east.

were the chambers ¹  which were toward the south. There was an opening at the head of the passage, the passage in front of the corresponding wall toward the east when one enters.
