Ezekiel 40:38-43
New Living Translation
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.

38 There was (A)a chamber with its door in the vestibule of the gate,[a] (B)where the burnt offering was to be washed. 39 And in the vestibule of the gate were two (C)tables on either side, on which the (D)burnt offering and the (E)sin offering and the (F)guilt offering were to be slaughtered. 40 And off to the side, on the outside as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and off to the other side of the vestibule of the gate were two tables. 41 (G)Four tables were on either side of the gate, eight tables, (H)on which to slaughter. 42 And there were four tables (I)of hewn stone for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, on which the instruments were to be laid with which the (J)burnt offerings and the sacrifices were slaughtered. 43 And hooks,[b] a handbreadth long, were fastened all around within. And on the tables the flesh of the offering was to be laid.
