ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף יחזקאל 40:42

In this chamber, “there were four tables [made] of hewn stone for the burnt-offering, one-and-a-half cubits long, one-and-a-half cubits wide, and one cubit high.”¹Yechezkel 40:42. The knives for slaughtering the sacrificial animals and the basins in which the blood from the slaughtered animals would be collected, were placed on these tables so that these utensils would be prepared for the kohanim who would slaughter the sacrifices of the highest degree of sanctity in the northern portion of the courtyard.
