Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
The Lord keeps a plentiful table, so He needs large kitchens; wise builders provide what serves His purposes, and waste ground is a pity on holy land. The priests must boil the most sacred offerings in these courts away from the people, lest ignorant folk imagine that touching holy flesh makes them acceptable to God, ministers must guard against bolstering superstition.

The sacrificial kitchens are mentioned here in supplementary fashion: the priests boil the most sacred offerings apart from the outer court lest the people imagine they are sanctified by touching holy flesh. The servants of the house prepare the people's slain offerings in these kitchen houses at the four corners.
