Context
The Courts for Boiling and Baking
22In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. Each of the four corner areas had the same dimensions. 23Around the inside of each of the four courts was a row of masonry with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides. 24And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the sacrifices offered by the people.”…

Ezekiel 46
1. Ordinances for the prince in his worship
9. and for the people
16. An order for the prince's inheritance
19. The courts for boiling and baking














Around the inside
The phrase "around the inside" suggests a comprehensive and encompassing arrangement. In the Hebrew context, this indicates a sense of completeness and order. The temple, as described by Ezekiel, is meticulously organized, reflecting God's nature of order and precision. This arrangement signifies that God's presence and His instructions permeate every aspect of worship and life, leaving no area untouched by His divine order.

each of the four courts
The "four courts" refer to the designated areas within the temple complex. In ancient Near Eastern architecture, courts were central to communal and religious life. The number four often symbolizes universality and completeness in biblical numerology, suggesting that the temple's design is meant to encompass all of creation. This reflects the inclusivity of God's covenant, extending His grace and presence to all corners of the earth.

a row of masonry
The "row of masonry" indicates a solid and enduring construction. Masonry, in the ancient world, was a symbol of strength and permanence. This imagery underscores the enduring nature of God's covenant and His unchanging promises. The use of masonry in the temple signifies that the foundation of worship and relationship with God is built on something unshakeable and eternal.

with ovens built
The "ovens built" within the temple courts were likely used for preparing offerings and sacrifices. In the Hebrew tradition, offerings were a central part of worship, symbolizing devotion, thanksgiving, and atonement. The presence of ovens highlights the practical aspects of worship, where spiritual acts are intertwined with daily life. It reminds believers that worship is not just a spiritual act but involves tangible, everyday actions that honor God.

at the base of the walls
The placement "at the base of the walls" suggests a foundation or starting point. In biblical symbolism, walls often represent protection and separation from the profane. By placing the ovens at the base, it signifies that the acts of worship and sacrifice are foundational to the spiritual life of the community. It is a reminder that our relationship with God begins with a humble and grounded approach, rooted in the basics of faith and obedience.

on all sides
The phrase "on all sides" emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of God's provision and presence. It suggests that no part of the temple, and by extension, no part of our lives, is outside the scope of God's influence and care. This comprehensive coverage assures believers of God's omnipresence and His readiness to meet us wherever we are, surrounding us with His love and protection.

(23) A row of building.--Around the walls of these enclosures were fixed tables of masonry with boiling places underneath.

Verse 23. - And there was a row of building round about in them; but whether טור meant a "wall," "fence," or "enclosure," as Gesenius, Havernick, and Ewald translate, or "row," "series," "a shelf of brickwork which had several separate shelves under which the cooking-hearths were placed," as Keil explains, the obvious intention was to describe the range of boiling places which were built along the inside walls of these corner courts, as the next verse states.
