Then he said to me, 'These are the kitchens where those who minister at the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people'—identifying the corner courts as common kitchens where offerings brought by the people are prepared.

This verse completes the vision of the temple complex by identifying all necessary infrastructure, demonstrating the comprehensive nature of the restored temple.
