18 "The prince shall 1not take from the people's inheritance, 2thrusting them out of their possession; he shall give his sons inheritance from his own possession so that My people will not be scattered, anyone from his possession.""'

The Boiling Places

19 Then he brought me through the 3entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north; and behold, there was a place at the extreme rear toward the west.
20 He said to me, "This is the place where * the priests shall boil the 4guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall 5bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outer court to transmit holiness to the people."
21 Then he brought me out into the outer court and led me across to the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a small court.
22 In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; these four in the corners were the same size.
23 There was a row of masonry round about in them, around the four of them, and boiling places were made under the rows round about.
24 Then he said to me, "These are the boiling places where * the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people."
