Read in context

Ezekiel 40:37–41 · Berean Standard Bible

37 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

38 There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

39 Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

40 Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.

41 So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.
