Boiling Places for Offerings

Ezekiel 46

¹⁹ Now he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy _o chambers of the priests which face toward the north; and there a place was situated at their extreme western end. ²⁰ And he said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall _p boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall _q bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court _r to sanctify the people."

²¹ Then he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and in fact, in every corner of the court there was another court. ²² In the four corners of the court were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; all four corners were the same size. ²³ There was a row of building stones all around in them, all around the four of them; and ₁ cooking hearths were made under the rows of stones all around. ²⁴ And he said to me, "These are the ₂ kitchens where the ministers of the ₃ temple shall _s boil the sacrifices of the people."
