42. The four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. On which also they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
43. Within were hooks, a handbreadth wide, fastened all around. And on the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44. Outside the inner gate were the chambers for the singers in the inner court, one at the side of the north gate facing south, the other at the side of the east gate facing north.
45. He said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple.
46. The chamber that faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, who come near to the Lord to minister to Him.”
47. So he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits wide, foursquare. And the altar was before the temple.
48. Then he brought me to the vestibule of the temple and measured each post of the vestibule, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. And the width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
49. The length of the vestibule was twenty cubits and the width 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.
