Ezekiel 46:19-20

The Boiling Places

19 Then he brought me through the 1entrance, 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 2guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall 3bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outer court to transmit holiness to the people."
