Ezekiel 46:19-24

19The man took me through the entrance beside the gate. We came to the holy rooms that belong to the priests. These rooms opened to the north. He showed me a place at the west end of these rooms.

20He said to me, ‘This is the place where the priests will cook the meat for the sin offerings and for the guilt offerings. They will bake the grain offerings here, too. In this way, they will not have to take these holy things into the outside yard. If they did that, someone might touch them and become holy.’

21Then the man took me to the outside yard. He took me around the yard to see its four corners. In each corner I saw that there was a small yard

22These four small yards were 20 metres long and 15 metres wide. They were all the same size.

23They had stone walls around them. At the bottom of the walls they had made places for fires to burn.

24The man said to me, ‘The temple servants will use these kitchens to cook meat that the people bring for sacrifices.’
