41 So there were four tables inside the gate and four outside, eight tables in all on which the slaughtering was to be done.
41 In that way, there were four tables on each side in front of the gate, for a total of eight tables for use in slaughtering the offerings.
42 And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.
42 For the burnt offering there were four (BQ)tables of (BR)hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and one cubit high, on which they lay the instruments with which they slaughter the (BS)burnt offering and the sacrifice.
42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the burnt offering,(S) each 31½ inches(al) long, 31½ inches wide, and 21 inches(am) high. The utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices were placed on them.
42 There were four tables carved from stone for the burnt offering, each one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high, on which the instruments are laid for slaughtering burnt offerings and sacrifices.
43 And they had edges all round as wide as a man's hand: and on the tables was the flesh of the offerings.
43 The double (ae)hooks, one handbreadth in length, were installed (af)in the house all around; and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.
43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
43 There were three-inch(an) hooks(ao) fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be laid on the tables.
43 Double hooks, a single handbreadth in length, were installed all around in this portion of the temple area.
44 And he took me into the inner square, and there were two rooms in the inner square, one at the side of the north doorway, facing south; and one at the side of the south doorway, facing north.
44 From the outside to the (BT)inner gate were (ag)(BU)chambers for the (BV)singers in the inner court, one of which was at the (ah)side of the north gate, with (ai)its front toward the south, and one at the (aj)side of the (ak)south gate facing toward the north.
44 And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, there were chambers for the singers:(ap)(T) one(aq) beside the north gate, facing south, and another beside the south(ar) gate, facing north.
44 From outside leading into the inner gate there were chambers for the choir. One was beside the north gate facing the south, and another was at the south gate facing the north.
45 And he said to me, This room, facing south, is for the priests who have the care of the house.
45 He said to me, “This is the (BW)chamber which faces toward the south, intended for the priests who (BX)keep charge of the (al)temple;
45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
45 Then the man said to me: “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple.(U)
45 The angel told me, "This south-facing chamber is for the priests who maintain the Temple,
46 And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.
46 but the (BY)chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who (BZ)keep charge of the altar. These are the (CA)sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi (CB)come near to the Lord to minister to Him.”
46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
46 The chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok,(V) the ones from the sons of Levi who may approach the Lord to serve Him.”(W)
46 and the north-facing chamber is for the priests who maintain the altar. These are Zadok's descendants, who, as descendants of Levi approach the LORD to minister directly to him."
47 And he took the measure of the open square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar was in front of the house.
47 He measured the court, a perfect square, a (CC)hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the (am)temple.
47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
47 Next he measured the court. It was square, 175 feet(as) long and 175 feet wide. The altar(X) was in front of the temple.
47 He measured the court in the form of a square at 100 cubits long and 100 cubits wide. The altar stood in front of the Temple.
48 Then he took me to the covered way before the house, and took the measure of its uprights, five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other.
48 Then he brought me to the (CD)porch of the (an)temple and measured each side pillar of the porch, five cubits on each side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on each side.
48 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
48 Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the pilasters of the portico; they were 8¾ feet(at) thick on each side. The width of the gateway was 24½ feet,(au) and the side walls of the gate were(av) 5¼ feet(aw) wide on each side.
48 Next, he brought me to the Temple porch and measured the side pillars at five cubits on each side. The width of the gate measured three cubits on each side.
49 The covered way was twenty cubits long and twelve cubits wide, and they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the uprights, one on one side and one on the other.
49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits; and at the (CE)stairway by which it was ascended were (CF)columns belonging to the side pillars, one on each side.
49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
49 The portico was 35 feet(ax) across and 21(ay) feet(az) deep, and 10 steps led(ba) up to it.(Y) There were pillars by the pilasters, one on each side.(Z)
49 The porch was 20 cubits long and eleven cubits wide. The stairway by which it was ascended was equipped with columns attached to its side pillars, one on each side.
