Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 44:4

"Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and I fell upon my face." — Ezekiel 44:4 (ASV)

The north gate. —The prophet is now carried to the north gate, and since this is described as before the house and was in full view of it, it must have been the gate of the inner court, the appointed place for the killing of the sacrifices, and therefore especially fitting for the announcement of the ordinances of the priests. There he saw the glory of the Lord filling the house, and was commanded to give the utmost attention to the laws now to be announced.
