35. Then the man brought me to the inner north gate. He measured it. It measured the same as the other gates.
36. Its rooms, inner walls and porch measured the same as the other gates. Windows were all around the gate. It was 87½ feet long and 44 feet wide.
37. Its porch faced the outer courtyard. Carvings of palm trees were on its inner walls on each side. And its stairway had eight steps.
38. There was a room with a door that opened onto the porch of the inner north gate. In this room the priests washed animals for the burnt offerings.
39. There were two tables on each side of the room. Animals for burnt offerings, sin offerings and penalty offerings were killed on these tables.
40. On each side of the porch, outside the door to the room, were two tables.
41. So four tables were on one side of the gate. And four tables were on the other side of the gate. In all there were eight tables on which the priests killed animals for sacrifices.
