Комментарий к Мидот 1:5
וְשֶׁבַּצָּפוֹן, שַׁעַר הַנִּיצוֹץ. וּכְמִין אַכְסַדְרָה הָיָה, וַעֲלִיָּה בְנוּיָה עַל גַּבָּיו, שֶׁהַכֹּהֲנִים שׁוֹמְרִים מִלְמַעְלָן וְהַלְוִיִּם מִלְּמַטָּן, וּפֶתַח הָיָה לוֹ לַחֵיל. שֵׁנִי לוֹ, שַׁעַר הַקָּרְבָּן. שְׁלִישִׁי לוֹ, בֵּית הַמּוֹקֵד:
А на севере - Ворота Ницотс . И он был [построен] как портик, и на нем был построен верхний этаж, откуда оттуда охраняли Коханим сверху и левиты снизу. У него была дверь в Чил . Во-вторых, ворота жертвоприношения. В-третьих, был Зал Огня.

ופתח היה לו לחיל – in one of the walls there was an opening that would go out to the place within the fortification of the Temple, which is a place inside from the wall of the Temple Mount from outside the Temple courtyard and is called חיל/Khel, [as will be described in further detail in Tractate Middot, Chapter 2, Mishnah 3].

English Explanation of Mishnah Middot
It had an upper chamber built on it, and the priests used to keep watch above and the Levites below, and it had a door opening into the Hel. The Gate of the Sparks, unlike most gates, also had an upper chamber. The priests would stand on top and stand guard, as we learned in mishnah one. The Levites would stand below and guard (see also mishnah one). The Gate had a door that opened onto the Hel. The Hel was an area ten amot wide that went between the Soreg (a light fence) and the walls of the Courtyard. We will explain more about this later in 2:3.

Bartenura on Mishnah Middot
בית המוקד – because there were open fires burning there always to warm the Kohanim there because they walk barefoot, it is called, the House of the Hearth. And it was a large house, and in its four corners, there were four small chambers as will be explained further on [in the next Mishnah] (see also Tractate Tamid, Chapter One, Mishnah 1 as well).
