EZEKIEL 40:42 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.”
And there were four hewn stone tables for the burnt offering, of one and a half cubits length and one and a half cubits width and one cubit height—on which the instruments for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the sacrifices were placed—describing the specific dimensions and materials of the slaughter tables and their use. The hewn stone construction emphasizes permanence and proper construction. The consistent dimensions (1.5 x 1.5 x 1 cubit) establish proportion and functionality. The placement of slaughtering instruments suggests that the tables serve as staging areas for the ritual slaughter. This verse provides detailed description of the sacrificial infrastructure.
