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 Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard. He led me around to its four corners. In each corner I saw another smaller courtyard.

22 So in the four corners of the outer courtyard were walled courtyards. Each one was 70 feet long and 52 and a half feet wide. All of them were the same size.

23 Around the inside of each of the four courtyards was a stone ledge. Places for fire were built all around under each ledge.

24 The man said to me, "These are the kitchens. Those who serve at the temple will cook the people's sacrifices here."
