Ezekiel 40:44

Verse 44 of 49. The 40th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

40On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

41Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.

42There were four cut stone tables for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.

43The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.

44Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced toward the south. One at the side of the east gate faced toward the north.

45He said to me, “This room, which faces toward the south, is for the priests who perform the duty of the house.

46The room which faces toward the north is for the priests who perform the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to him.”

47He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.

48Then 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. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
