Ezekiel 42:13

The *angel explained the purpose of these rooms. The priests would eat some parts of the *sacrifices. These *sacrifices were *holy. So the priests ate them as part of their sacred duties (compare 1 Corinthians 11:23-29). And therefore, the priests could not take this food out of the *temple. And they could not eat it in a public area. Instead, there was this special *holy area where the priests could eat. They cooked the meat in kitchens, which were next to these buildings. You can read about those kitchens in 46:19-20. The priests did not carry the meat into the public outer area. They kept it separate from the people. It was always necessary to keep the *holy things separate. And by that means, the priests gave honour to God. Anything that belongs to God is special. People should not act as if was just like any ordinary object.
