18 Moreover athe prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.” ’ ”  

How the Offerings Were Prepared

19 Now he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy achambers 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 aboil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bbake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court cto 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; and1 cooking hearths were made under the rows of stones all around.

Ezekiel 46:19-24

The careful provision here made to keep separate the offerings of priests and people was to prevent collision, just as the enactments Ezekiel 46:16-18 were intended to secure their respective rights to prince and people.

Ezekiel 46:19

At the side of the gate - The entrance to the inner court at the same side as the northern gate Ezekiel 42:9.

Ezekiel 46:20

See M Plan II.

Boil - It was unique to the Paschal lamb, that it was to be eaten roasted. The flesh of the other sacrifices was to be "sodden" or boiled (see Leviticus 6:28; I Samuel 2:13; II Chronicles 24:14 margin). The "meat-offering" (flour and honey) was baked Leviticus 2:4.

Ezekiel 46:21

See K. Plan II.

Ezekiel 46:22

courts joined - enclosed courts, and entered by doors in the walls, which shut them out from the great court. The marginal rendering, "made with chimnies," is based upon another interpretation of the word.

These four corners - Or, "these four corner-courts were of one measure."
