Ezekiel 40:38-43

Common English Bible

³⁸ At that gate, there was a room with an entrance in the arches for washing the entirely burned offering, ³⁹ and inside the porch on each side of the gate were two tables where the entirely burned offerings, the purification offerings, and the compensation offerings were slaughtered. ⁴⁰ Outside, two pairs of tables flanked the entrance of the north gate at both ends, at the steps on one end and the porch on the other. ⁴¹ There were four tables on each side of the gate, eight tables in all, for preparing the animal offerings. ⁴² The four tables that were used for the entirely burned offering as well as for the communal sacrifices were made of hewn stone. Each was twenty-seven inches square and eighteen inches high. Equipment used in the ritual slaughter was set on them. ⁴³ Hooks,^[a] three inches wide, were securely fixed all the way around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.
