John Gill Bible Commentary

And there were seven steps to go up to it,.... To the south gate, as there were to the east and north gates, Eze 40:6, and the arches thereof were before them; See Gill on Eze 40:22, and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof; that is, on the posts of this gate were palm trees, two on each post, one on one side, and the other on the other: this verse shows us how many palm trees were painted on the posts, and how they were disposed of; See Gill on Eze 40:16.
