The Boiling Places

¹⁹ Then he brought me through the ^(A)entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north; and behold, there was a place at the extreme rear toward the west. ²⁰ He said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the ^(B)guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall ^(C)bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outer court to transmit holiness to the people.”

²¹ Then he brought me out into the outer court and led me across to the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a small court. ²² In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; these four in the corners were ^[a]the same size. ²³ There was a row of masonry round about in them, around the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about. ²⁴ Then he said to me, “These are the boiling ^[b]places where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
