SCRIPTURE

"And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons." — Ezekiel 46:3 (ASV)

At the door of this gate - In Herod's Temple the place for worshipping "before the Lord" was the court of Israel, west of the court of Women, separated from the inner court by a low parapet. In Ezekiel's the worshippers were admitted into the inner court itself. The upper pavement (E. Plan II) on either side of the eastern gate provided room for such worshippers.
