Ezekiel 46:22
20 and said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.”
21 Then he brought me into the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw a separate court in each of its corners.
In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. Each of the four corner areas had the same dimensions.
23 Around the inside of each of the four courts was a row of masonry with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides.
24 And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the sacrifices offered by the people.”
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
