Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holychambers for the priests, which facednorth; and behold, there was a place at the extremerear toward the west.
20
He said to me, "This is the placewhere* the priests shall boil the guiltoffering and the sinoffering and where they shall bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outercourt to transmitholiness to the people."
21
Then he brought me out into the outercourt and led me across to the fourcorners of the court; and behold, in everycorner of the court there was a small court.
