Modern English Version
Chambers for Washing the Sacrifice
38 The chambers and its entrance were by the posts of the gates where they washed the burnt offering. 39 In the vestibule of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, to slay on it the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering. 40 On the outside of the vestibule, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables. And on the other side of the vestibule of the gate were two tables. 41 Four tables were on this side and four tables on that side by the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughtered their sacrifices. 42 The four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high.[a] On which also they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 43 Within were hooks, a handbreadth wide,[b] fastened all around. And on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

38 And a chamber with the door thereof was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt-offering. 39 And [a]in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering. 40 And on the one side without, [b]as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables. 41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew the sacrifices. 42 And there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice. 43 And the [c]hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened [d]within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.
