36 Its rooms, side walls and porch measured the same as the ones at the other gateways. It had openings all around. The side walls and the porch measured 87 and a half feet long and almost 44 feet wide.
37 The porch faced the outer courtyard. Each doorpost was decorated with a palm tree. Eight steps led up to the porch.
38 A room with a doorway was by the porch of each inner gateway. The burnt offerings were washed there.
39 On each side of the porch of the gateway were two tables. The burnt offerings were killed on them. So were the sin offerings and guilt offerings.
40 Two more tables were by the outer wall of the gateway porch. They were near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway. Two more tables were on the other side of the steps.
41 So there were four tables on each side of the gateway. The total number of tables was eight. Animals for sacrifice were killed on all of them.
42 There were also four other tables for the burnt offerings. They were made out of blocks of stone. Each table was two and a half feet long and two and a half feet wide. And each was almost two feet high. The tools for killing the burnt offerings and other sacrifices were placed on them.
