³⁸ A chamber with its doorway was by the side pillars of the gates; there the burnt offering was to be washed. ³⁹ In the porch (portico) of the gate were two tables on each side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering. ⁴⁰ On the outer ^[a]side, as one went up to the ^[b]gateway toward the north, were two tables; and on the other ^[c]side of the porch of the gate were two tables. ⁴¹ Four tables were on each ^[d]side next to the gate; [a total of] eight tables on which they slaughter sacrifices. ⁴² Moreover, there were four tables of hewn stone (ashlar) for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high, on which they lay the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice. ⁴³ The double hooks, one hand width in length were installed in the ^[e]house all around. The meat of the offering was [to be placed] on the tables.
