Preparations for the Offerings

¹⁹ Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests which face toward the north. And there was a place at the extreme westward end of them. ²⁰ Then he said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering so that they not bear them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.”

²¹ Then he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court. And 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 wide.^[a] These four corners were of one measurement. ²³ There was a row of masonry all around in them, all around the four of them; and it was made with hearths at the bottom of the rows all around. ²⁴ Then he said to me, “These are the boiling places where the ministers of the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
