Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices

³⁸ There was a room with a door that opened onto the ·porch [portico] of the inner north gateway. ·In this room the priests washed animals for the burnt offerings [^L…where the burnt offering was washed; Lev. 1:1–17]. ³⁹ There were two tables on each side of the ·porch [portico], on which animals for burnt offerings, ·sin [or purification] offerings [Lev. 4:3], and ·penalty [guilt; reparation] offerings [Lev. 5:14—6:7] were killed. ⁴⁰ Outside, by each side wall of the ·porch [portico], at the entrance to the north gateway, were two more tables.
