Ezekiel 40:38-43
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices
38 A door led from the entry room of one of the inner gateways into a side room, where the meat for sacrifices was washed. 39 On each side of this entry room were two tables, where the sacrificial animals were slaughtered for the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings. 40 Outside the entry room, on each side of the stairs going up to the north entrance, were two more tables. 41 So there were eight tables in all—four inside and four outside—where the sacrifices were cut up and prepared. 42 There were also four tables of finished stone for preparation of the burnt offerings, each 31 1⁄2 inches square and 21 inches high.[a] On these tables were placed the butchering knives and other implements for slaughtering the sacrificial animals. 43 There were hooks, each 3 inches[b] long, fastened all around the foyer walls. The sacrificial meat was laid on the tables.
