A church father on this verse
“(Vers. 44 seqq.) "And outside the front gate of the cantor's treasury in the inner courtyard, which was on the side of the gate facing the north, their faces were towards the south: one on the side of the eastern gate, which faced the way of the north." Regarding the treasuries, the Seventy translated them as exedrae.…”

In context

42And there were four tables of hewn stone for whole burnt offerings, the breadth of them was a cubit and a half, and the length of them two cubits and a half, and their height was a cubit: on them they shall place the instruments with which they slay there the whole burnt offerings and the victims.

43And they shall have within a border of hewn stone round about of a span broad, and over the tables above screens for covering them from the wet and from the heat.

— Ezekiel 40:44 —

45And he said to me, This chamber that looks to the south, is for the priests that keep the charge of the house.

46And the chamber that looks to the north is for the priests that keep the charge of the altar: they are the sons of Zadok, those of the tribe of Levi who draw near to the Lord to serve him.
