Bible Comments

He brought me through the entry A private passage, Ezekiel 42:9, which led to the priests' chambers, which were on the north side of the inner court, and are described Ezekiel 40:44; Ezekiel 40:46. There was a place on the two sides westward Or, on their sides westward; that is, there was an enclosure on the west side of these chambers. This is the place where the priest shall boil the trespass- offering The flesh of the sacrifices, which were to be eaten, was to be boiled, except the flesh of the passover. Where they shall bake the meat- offering According to the directions given Leviticus 2:4-7. That they bear them not into the outer court, to sanctify the people The flesh of those sacrifices, and the remainder of the meat-offering, were accounted most holy; and consequently, according to the law, were supposed to convey some kind of holiness to those that touched them: see note on Ezekiel 44:19.

Ezekiel 46:19-20

19 After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.

20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
