And the chambers and the entries thereof [were] by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering (40:38)

And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering (40:39)

And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, [were] two tables; and on the other side, which [was] at the porch of the gate, [were] two tables (40:40)

Four tables [were] on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [their sacrifices] (40:41)

And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice (40:42)

And within [were] hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering (40:43)

And without the inner gate [were] the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate; and their prospect [was] toward the south: one at the side of the east gate [having] the prospect toward the north (40:44)

And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect [is] toward the south, [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house (40:45)

And the chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the Lord to minister unto him (40:46)

So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that was] before the house (40:47)

And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured [each] post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate [was] three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side (40:48)

The length of the porch [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and [he brought me] by the steps whereby they went up to it: and [there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side (40:49)
