Ezekiel 40:38-43
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices
38 There was a chamber whose door opened into the portico of the gate.[a] The burnt offering was to be washed there.(A) 39 Inside the portico of the gate there were two tables on each side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, sin offering,(B) and restitution offering.(C) 40 Outside, as one approaches the entrance of the north gate, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico. 41 So there were four tables inside the gate and four outside, eight tables in all on which the slaughtering was to be done. 42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the burnt offering,(D) each 31½ inches[b] long, 31½ inches wide, and 21 inches[c] high. The utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices were placed on them. 43 There were three-inch[d] hooks[e] fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be laid on the tables.
