Ezekiel 46:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 46:23

And there was a row of building round about in them
Within the courts, not on the outside of them: these were either chambers to eat the sacrifices in when boiled; or they were sheds which covered the cooks, and the meat they were boiling, from the rain: the Targum renders it,

``and walls were made to them round about;''

to the court: and so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret this row of building of a stone wall: round about them four;
the four courts at the four corners: and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about;
under these rows of building, chambers or sheds; or under these stone walls were furnaces, and coppers, and caldrons, set on them, for the boiling of the sacrifices.

Ezekiel 46:23 In-Context

21 He proceeded to take me to the outside courtyard and around to each of its four corners. In each corner I observed another court.

22 In each of the four corners of the outside courtyard were smaller courts sixty by forty-five feet, each the same size.

23 On the inside walls of the courts was a stone shelf, and beneath the shelves, hearths for cooking.

24 He said, "These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the sacrifices of the people."
