Ezekiel 46:18-24

18 And the ruler is not to take the heritage of any of the people, driving them out of their property; he is to give a heritage to his sons out of the property which is his: so that my people may not be sent away from their property.
19 And he took me through by the way in at the side of the doorway into the holy rooms which are the priests', looking to the north: and I saw a place at the side of them to the west.
20 And he said to me, This is the place where the offering for error and the sin-offering are to be cooked in water by the priests, and where the meal offering is to be cooked in the oven; so that they may not be taken out into the outer square to make the people holy.
21 And he took me out into the outer square and made me go by the four angles of the square; and I saw that in every angle of the open square there was a space shut in.
22 In the four angles there were spaces walled in, forty cubits long and thirty wide; the four were of the same size.
23 And there was a line of wall all round inside them, round all four, and boiling-places were made under it all round about.
24 And he said to me, These are the boiling-rooms, where the offering of the people is cooked by the servants of the house.
