Ezekiel 46:23

Compare all

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; and¹ cooking hearths were made under the rows of stones all around.

24 And he said to me, “These are the¹ kitchens where the ministers of the² temple shall ^aboil the sacrifices of the people.”
