Then he brought me forth into the utter court
From the holy chambers of the priests, and from viewing the place where they boiled the sacrifices, and baked the meat offering: and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court;

Ezekiel 46:21 In-Context

19 Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, to the north row of the holy chambers for the priests; and there I saw a place at the extreme western end of them.
20 And he said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the cereal offering, in order not to bring them out into the outer court and so communicate holiness to the people."
21 Then he brought me forth to the outer court, and led me to the four corners of the court; and in each corner of the court there was a court--
22 in the four corners of the court were small courts, forty cubits long and thirty broad; the four were of the same size.
23 On the inside, around each of the four courts was a row of masonry, with hearths made at the bottom of the rows round about.
