³¹ “You shall take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place,^(A)

³¹ And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I was commanded, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it,’^(A)

²⁰ He said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the purification offering and where they shall bake the grain offering, in order not to bring them out into the outer court and so communicate holiness to the people.”^(A)

²¹ Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me past the four corners of the court, and in each corner of the court there was a court: ²² in the four corners of the court were small^[a] courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; the four were of the same size. ²³ On the inside, around each of the four courts,^[b] was a row of masonry, with hearths made at the bottom of the rows all around. ²⁴ Then he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who serve at the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”^(B)

¹⁵ Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the one who was sacrificing, “Give meat for the priest to roast, for he will not accept boiled meat from you but only raw.”^(A)

¹³ or for the duties of the priests to the people. When anyone offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand,^(A)
