John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 8:7

"And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall." — Ezekiel 8:7 (ASV)

And he brought me to the door of the court Of the inner court, the court of the priests and Levites. Dr. Lightfoot ^F24 says this was the east gate, and most common way of entrance; and in that gate the sanhedrim used to sit in these times; and there the prophet sees their council chamber painted about with imagery: and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall of one of the chambers of the priests and Levites, where they lay.
