Ezekiel 40:39-43
tables ........ slaughter <07979 07819> [tables on that.]
burnt offering <05930> [the burnt.]
sin offering <02403> [the sin.]
guilt offering <0817> [the trespass.]
outside ....................... side <03802> [at the side.]
Two tables were on each side, as you come into the porch of the gate; and two on each side of the inner part of the gate that looked towards the altar; in all eight tables, on which they slew and cut up the victims. It does not appear that any such tables were used either in the tabernacle or temple; and this seems to intimate the introduction of a new and more spiritual dispensation: See the referemces.
goes up <05927> [as one goeth up. or, at the step.]
house <01004> [within.]
These were probably for hanging up the victims in order to flay them.
hooks <08240> [hooks. or, end-irons, or, the two hearth-stones. upon.]
