38 A (A)chamber with its doorway was by the side pillars at the gates; there they (B)rinse the burnt offering. 39 And in the porch of the gate were two (C)tables on each side, on which to slaughter the (D)burnt offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering. 40 On the outer [a]side, [b]as one went up to the [c]gateway toward the north, were two tables; and on the other [d]side of the porch of the gate were two tables. 41 Four (E)tables were on each side [e]next to the gate; eight tables on which they slaughter sacrifices. 42 For the burnt offering there were four (F)tables of (G)cut stone, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high, on which they set the utensils with which they slaughter the (H)burnt offering and the sacrifice. 43 And the double [f]hooks, [g]one hand width in length, were installed [h]in the house all around; and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.
