The Outer Court

¹⁷ Then he brought me into the outer court.^(A) There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms^(B) along the pavement.^(C)

The Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices

³⁸ A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings^(A) were washed.

³⁵ You must stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and do what the Lord requires,^(A) so you will not die; for that is what I have been commanded.”

²³ They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting.

¹¹ Every morning and evening^(A) they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense^(B) to the Lord. They set out the bread on the ceremonially clean table^(C) and light the lamps^(D) on the gold lampstand every evening. We are observing the requirements of the Lord our God. But you have forsaken him.
