38 A (A)chamber with its doorway was by the side pillars at the gates; there they (B)rinse the burnt offering. 39 In the porch of the gate were two (C)tables on each side, on which to slaughter the (D)burnt offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering. 40 On the outer [a]side, [b]as one went up to the entrance of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other [c]side of the porch of the gate were two tables. 41 Four (E)tables were on each side [d]next to the gate; or, eight tables on which they slaughter sacrifices. 42 For the burnt offering there were four (F)tables of (G)cut stone, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high, on which they lay the instruments with which they slaughter the (H)burnt offering and the sacrifice. 43 The double [e]hooks, one handbreadth in length, were installed [f]in the house all around; and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

Where Sacrifices Were Prepared

38 There was a chamber and its entrance by the gateposts of the gateway, where they (A)washed the burnt offering. 39 In the vestibule of the gateway were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to slay the burnt offering, (B)the sin offering, and (C)the trespass offering. 40 At the outer side of the vestibule, as one goes up to the entrance of the northern gateway, were two tables; and on the other side of the vestibule of the gateway were two tables. 41 Four tables were on this side and four tables on that side, by the side of the gateway, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices. 42 There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, one cubit and a half long, one cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high; on these they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 43 Inside were hooks, a handbreadth wide, fastened all around; and the flesh of the sacrifices was on the tables.
