Sacrificial Facilities and Priestly Chambers
Ezekiel 40:38-47
38
And the chamber and its opening is by the posts of the gates, there they purge the burnt-offering.
39
And in the porch of the gate are two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter on them the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering;
40
and at the side without, at the going up to the opening of the north gate, are two tables; and at the other side that is at the porch of the gate, are two tables;
41
four tables are on this side, and four tables on that side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughter.
42
And the four tables for burnt-offering are of hewn stone: the length one cubit and a half, and the breadth one cubit and a half, and the height one cubit: on them they place the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
43
And the boundaries are one handbreadth, prepared within all round about: and on the tables is the flesh of the offering.
44
And on the outside of the inner gate are chambers of the singers, in the inner court, that are at the side of the north gate, and their fronts are southward, one at the side of the east gate hath the front northward.
45
And he speaketh unto me: `This chamber, whose front is southward, is for priests keeping charge of the house;
46
and the chamber, whose front is northward, is for priests keeping charge of the altar: they are sons of Zadok, who are drawing near of the sons of Levi unto Jehovah, to serve Him.'
47
And he measureth the court: the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, square, and the altar is before the house.
