Ezekiel 46:19-24

New Century Version

The Special Kitchens

¹⁹ The man led me through the entrance at the side of the gateway to the priests’ holy rooms that face north. There I saw a place at the west end. ²⁰ The man said to me, “This is where the priests will boil the meat of the penalty offering and sin offering and bake the grain offering. Then they will not need to bring these holy offerings into the outer courtyard, because that would hurt the people.”

²¹ Then the man brought me out into the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner of the courtyard was a smaller courtyard. ²² Small courtyards were in the four corners of the courtyard. Each small courtyard was the same size, seventy feet long and fifty-two and one-half feet wide. ²³ A stone wall was around each of the four small courtyards, and places for cooking were built in each of the stone walls. ²⁴ The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who work in the Temple will boil the sacrifices offered by the people.”
