Ezekiel

Ezekiel 46:19–24

¹⁹Then the man brought me through the entrance at the side of the gate into the holy chambers facing north, which belonged to the priests, and he showed me a place there at the far western end ²⁰and said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.”

²¹Then he brought me into the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw a separate court in each of its corners. ²²In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide.^d Each of the four corner areas had the same dimensions. ²³Around the inside of each of the four courts was a row of masonry with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides.

²⁴And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the sacrifices offered by the people.”

d 46:22 The enclosed courts were approximately 70 feet long and 52.5 feet wide (21.3 meters long and 16 meters wide).
