Ezekiel 46:21-24

46:21 Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me past the four corners of the court, and I noticed ¹  that in every corner of the court there was a court. 46:22 In the four corners of the court were small ²  courts, 70 feet ³  in length and 52½ feet ⁴  in width; the four were all the same size. 46:23 There was a row of masonry around each of the four courts, and places for boiling offerings were made under the rows all around. 46:24 Then he said to me, “These are the houses for boiling, where the ministers of the temple boil the sacrifices of the people.”
