Contextual Overview
1 Then he took me forth unto the outer court, the way toward the north, - and brought me unto the chamber which was over against the secluded place and which was over against the enclosing-wall, towards the north. 2 Facing the length of the hundred cubits, was the entrance of the north, - and the breadth was fifty cubits: 3 over against the twenty which pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement which pertained to the outer court, was gallery facing gallery, by the thirties; 4 and before the chambers, was a walk ten cubits in breadth inward, a way of one cubit, - and their entrances were to the north. 5 Now, the highest chambers were shortened, because the galleries took away therefrom more than from the lower or from the middle in structure. 6 For three stories, they were; and had not pillars like the pillars of the courts; for this cause, it differed from the lowest and from the middle, from the ground. 7 And as for the wall that was without. answering to the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits. 8 For the length of the chambers which pertained to the outer court was fifty cubits, - and lo! in front of the temple a hundred cubits, 9 And from under these chambers, was the entry from the east when one goeth in by them from the outer court. 10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east facing the secluded place and facing the enclosing wall, were chambers. n

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south,.... That is, the doors of these eastern chambers were exactly like to the doors of the southern chambers, as well as to the northern ones:
was a door in the head of the way; or beginning of the way; the door opened into the way of one cubit, and that led into the walk of ten cubits; and such a way and walk were before these eastern chambers as were before the southern and northern ones:
even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them: or, "also a way before the wall direct, a way to the east, as one goes into them" b; which seems to describe such a way from under these eastern chambers as were from under the northern or southern chambers, Ezekiel 42:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Translate: And along the front of them - like (literally as the appearance of) the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they and as broad as they, and (like) all their goings out, and like their fashions, and like their doors, even so were the doors of the chambers which were toward the south; (with) a door at the head of the way, the way of the wall adjoined eastward as one entereth into them (the chambers).
