Ezekiel 46:20-22
King James Version
20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
21 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
22 In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.

20 And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests (A)shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where (B)they shall bake the grain offering, in order not to bring them out into the outer court and so (C)transmit holiness to the people.”
21 Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me around to the four corners of the court. And behold, in each corner of the court there was another court— 22 in the four corners of the court were small[a] courts, forty cubits[b] long and thirty broad; the four were of the same size.
