36. its alcoves, its jambs, and its porches. It had windows all around it; its length was 87½ feet and its width 43¾ feet.
37. Its jambs faced the outer court, and it had decorative palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.
38. There was a chamber with its door by the porch of the gate; there they washed the burnt offering.
39. In the porch of the gate were two tables on either side on which to slaughter the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering.
40. On the outside of the porch as one goes up at the entrance of the north gate were two tables, and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables.
41. Four tables were on each side of the gate, eight tables on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.
