From the precincts to the outer court were seven steps, from the outer to the inner court eight, making together the number of the Psalms Ps. 120134, supposed by some to have been called Psalms of Degrees, because they were sung by the choir of Levites upon the steps (degrees) of the temple-courts. In later times these Psalms were used as pilgrims songs by the Jews who went up from their abodes in foreign countries to Jerusalem on the solemn feasts.<\/P><\/p>\n In this verse two things are mentioned wherein this gate differed from the other; first, in the arches or porch, which stood not inward, but outward towards the outer court, the reason whereof will appear in what follows. The next difference lieth in this, that the ascent was by eight steps (more than the other, say some, and so make them fifteen). Now, if the porch to this gate built outward stood upon such ascent, it would be necessary the pillars should be such as Eze 40:30<\/span> expresseth them, five cubits in the breadth of the basis, and twenty-five cubits high. <\/P> <\/p>\n 31. eight steps<\/B>The outerporch had only seven<\/I> (Eze40:26<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n And the arches thereof were toward the outward court<\/strong>,….

The two sets together made up fifteen steps, the same number as led up in the later Temple from the court of the women to the court of Israel, and on which, according to Jewish tradition, the Levites stood to chant the fifteen Psalms (Psalms 120-134) called Songs of Degrees.<\/p>\n Eze. 40:32-34<\/span> describe the east gate, and Eze. 40:35-37<\/span> the north gate, both exactly like the one already described.<\/p>\n Eze 40:31 And the arches thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.<\/p>\n Ver. 31.
