Ezekiel 40:39

The verse states what was inthe porch, in antithesis to Ezekiel 40:38. Possibly the words "to slay thereon" are used generally, not of the actual slaughtering, but of the manipulation of the flesh of the victims. In Ezekiel 40:41 it is said that there were eight tables on which they slew, four of which were certainly outside the porch. If the burnt, sin and trespass offerings (LXX. omits burnt offerings here) were slain inthe porch, there would remain only the peace offerings to slay outside.
