John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 42:9

"And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court." — Ezekiel 42:9 (ASV)

And from under these chambers
Or, "from the lower part of these chambers" ^F26 ; or, "from the lowest" of them there was a space, as may be supplied, and as is by Cocceius and Starchius; and as there was a wall to the west of them, so there was a void space to the east; and as follows: the entry on the east side :
or, "he that brought me from the east" ^F1 , as the Keri; and coming eastward to these chambers, one must needs go through this space: as one goes into them from the utter court ;
if a man went eastward into those chambers from the outward court he must go through this space, which lay to the east of the lowest chambers: or the sense is, that from under the north chambers to the south was an entry on the east side, which led from one to the other.
