Ezekiel 40:38-47

38There was a chamber and its entrance by the gateposts of the gateway, where they washed the burnt offering.

39In the vestibule of the gateway were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to slay the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.

40At the outer side of the vestibule, as one goes up to the entrance of the northern gateway, were two tables; and on the other side of the vestibule of the gateway were two tables.

41Four tables were on this side and four tables on that side, by the side of the gateway, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices.

42There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, one cubit and a half long, one cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high; on these they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

43Inside were hooks, a handbreadth wide, fastened all around; and the flesh of the sacrifices was on the tables.

44Outside the inner gate were the chambers for the singers in the inner court, one facing south at the side of the northern gateway, and the other facing north at the side of the southern gateway.

45Then he said to me, “This chamber which faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple.

46The chamber which faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar; these are the sons of Zadok, from the sons of Levi, who come near the Lord to minister to Him.”

47And he measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, foursquare. The altar was in front of the temple.
