The Inner Court

Ezekiel 40

28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to these measures; 29 and its chambers, and its posts and its arches according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in its arches round about; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits broad. 30 And the arches round about were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits broad. 31 And its arches went into the court outside, with palm trees upon each of its posts; and the going up to it had eight steps.

32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to these measures. 33 And its chambers and its posts and its arches were according to these measures; and there were windows therein and in its arches round about; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits broad. 34 And its arches went into the court outside, with palm trees upon each of its posts, on this side and on that side; and the going up to it had eight steps.

35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it according to these measures; 36 its chambers, its posts and its arches and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits and the breadth twenty-five cubits. 37 And its posts were toward the outer court; with palm trees upon each of its posts, on this side and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.

38 And there was a chamber and its gate with posts of portals, there they shall wash the burnt offering. 39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, to slay the burnt offering upon and the sin and the guilt. 40 And to the outside of the steps at the entry of the north gate were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables. 41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of this gate; eight tables, upon which they slew their sacrifices. 42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; upon which they also laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 43 And within were hooks, a hand broad, fastened round about; and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
