John Wesley's Notes
North - ward - Here this and other kinds of sacrifices were killed, Leviticus 6:25, and Leviticus 7:2, because here seems to have been the largest and most convenient place for that work, the altar being probably near the middle of the east - end of the building, and the entrance being on the south - side. Besides this might design the place of Christ's death both more generally, in Jerusalem, which was in the sides of the north, Psalms 48:2, and more specially, on mount Calvary, which was on the north - west side of Jerusalem.
