The Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices
38 A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings(A) were washed. 39 In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings,(B) sin offerings[a](C) and guilt offerings(D) were slaughtered.(E) 40 By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables. 41 So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were slaughtered. 42 There were also four tables of dressed stone(F) for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high.[b] On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.(G) 43 And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth[c] long, were attached to the wall all around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.

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.
