14 Then he brought H935 me to the door H6607 of the gate H8179 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004 which was toward the north; H6828 and, behold, there sat H3427 women H802 weeping H1058 for Tammuz. H8542
Then brought H935 he me the way H1870 of the north H6828 gate H8179 before H6440 the house: H1004 and I looked, H7200 and, behold, the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 filled H4390 the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 and I fell H5307 upon my face. H6440
But when the people H5971 of the land H776 shall come H935 before H6440 the LORD H3068 in the solemn feasts, H4150 he that entereth H935 in by the way H1870 of the north H6828 gate H8179 to worship H7812 shall go out H3318 by the way H1870 of the south H5045 gate; H8179 and he that entereth H935 by the way H1870 of the south H5045 gate H8179 shall go forth H3318 by the way H1870 of the north H6828 gate: H8179 he shall not return H7725 by the way H1870 of the gate H8179 whereby he came in, H935 but shall go forth H3318 over against H5226 it.
