35. And he brought me into the gate that looked to the north: and he measured according to the former measures.
36. The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof, and the windows thereof round about it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
37. And the porch thereof looked to the outward court: and the graving of palm trees in the front thereof was on this side and on that side: and the going up to it was by eight steps.
38. And at every chamber was a door in the forefronts of the gates: there they washed the holocaust.
39. And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side: that the holocaust, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering might be slain thereon.
40. And on the outward side, which goeth up to the entry of the gate that looketh toward the north, were two tables, and at the other side before the porch of the gate were two tables.
41. Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side: at the sides of the gate were eight tables, upon which they slew the victims.
42. And the four tables for the holocausts were made of square stones: one cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: to lay the vessels upon, in which the holocaust and the victim is slain.
43. And the borders of them were of one handbreadth, turned inwards round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44. And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singing men in the inner court, which was on the side of the gate that looketh to the north: and their prospect was towards the south, one at the side of the east gate, which looketh toward the north.
45. And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple.
46. But the chamber that looketh towards the north shall be for the priests that watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Sadoc, who among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord, to minister to him.
