The Boiling Places
19 Then he brought me through the (A)entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north; and behold, a place was there at the extreme rear toward the west. 20 And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the (B)guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall (C)bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer courtyard [a]and transfer holiness to the people.”
21 Then he brought me out into the outer courtyard and led me across to the four corners of the courtyard; and behold, in every corner of the courtyard there was a small courtyard. 22 In the four corners of the courtyard there were enclosed courtyards, forty [b]cubits long and thirty wide; these four in the corners were [c]the same size. 23 And there was a row of masonry all around in them, around the four of them, and cooking hearths were made under the rows all around. 24 Then he said to me, “These are the cooking [d]places where the ministers of the house shall cook the sacrifices of the people.”

The Temple Kitchens
19 Then he brought me through the entrance(A) that was at the side of the gate, into the priests’ holy chambers, which faced north. I saw a place there at the far western end. 20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests will boil the guilt offering and the sin offering,(B) and where they will bake the grain offering,(C) so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.” 21 Next he brought me into the outer court and led me past its four corners. There was a separate court in each of its corners. 22 In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed[a] courts, 70 feet[b] long by 52½ feet[c] wide. All four corner areas had the same dimensions. 23 There was a stone wall[d] around the inside of them, around the four of them, with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides. 24 He said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the people’s sacrifices.”
