Yechezkel 40:42-48 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

42. And the four shulchanot were of hewn stone for the olah (burnt offering), of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high; whereupon also they placed the kelim wherewith they slaughtered the olah (burnt offering) and the zevach.

43. And within were hooks, one handbreadth, set up inside all around; and upon the shulchanot was the basar of the korban.

44. And outside the sha'ar hapenimi were the lishkhot of the sharim (singers) in the khatzer hapenimi, which was at the side of the northern sha'ar; and their view was toward the south; one at the side of the eastern sha'ar having the view toward the north.

45. And he [the angelic being] said unto me, This lishka, whose view is toward the south, is for the Kohanim, the Shomrei Mishmeret HaBeis [HaMikdash].

46. And the lishka whose view is toward the north is for the Kohanim, the Shomrei Mishmeret HaMizbe'ach; these are the Bnei Tzadok among the Bnei Levi, which come near to Hashem to minister unto Him.

47. So he [the angelic being] measured the khatzer (court), a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits wide, foursquare; and the Mizbe'ach was before the Beis [HaMikdash].

48. And he [the angelic being] brought me to the Ulam of the Beis [HaMikdash], and measured each jamb of the Ulam, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and the width of the sha'ar was shalosh cubits on this side, and shalosh cubits on that side.
