The Temple's Lower Pavement
Commentators explain that this verse describes a paved area in the temple's outer court. It was called the 'lower pavement' because the outer court was physically on a lower level than the inner court, which one would ascend to. This detail highlights the grand, multi-leveled structure of the visionary temple.
