Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 40:39

39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering.

Tho' the words seem so express, yet doubt is made whether any table were in the very porch it self, and think they would cumber the passage, but sure where only the Priests in course of Ministration entred, there would be no great croud; therefore I conceive, that these two pairs of Tables were set in the very porch of the Gate, which is the letter of the Text.
