וְאַרְבַּע לְשָׁכוֹת הָיוּ בְּבֵית הַמּוֹקֵד כְּקִיטוֹנוֹת פְּתוּחוֹת לִטְרַקְּלִין, שְׁתַּיִם בְּקֹדֶשׁ וּשְׁתַּיִם בְּחֹל. וְרָאשֵׁי פִסְפְּסִין מַבְדִּילִין בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ לְחֹל. וּמֶה הָיוּ מְשַׁמְּשׁוֹת? מַעֲרָבִית דְּרוֹמִית, הִיא הָיְתָה לִשְׁכַּת טְלָאֵי קָרְבָּן; דְּרוֹמִית מִזְרָחִית, הִיא הָיְתָה לִשְׁכַּת עוֹשֵׂי לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים; מִזְרָחִית צְפוֹנִית, בָּהּ גָּנְזוּ בְנֵי חַשְׁמוֹנַאי אֶת אַבְנֵי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ שֶׁשִּׁקְּצוּם מַלְכֵי יָוָן; צְפוֹנִית מַעֲרָבִית, בָּהּ יוֹרְדִים לְבֵית הַטְּבִילָה.
And there were four chambers in the Hall of the Fire, like suites that open into a ballroom. Two [chambers] were located in the consecrated portion [of the Hall of the Fire] and two were located in the unconsecrated portion. And the ends of beams separated between [the] consecrated [area] and [the] unconsecrated [area]. And what purpose did [these chambers] serve? [The] southwestern [chamber], it was the Chamber of Sacrificial Lambs; [the] southeastern [chamber], it was the chamber of the makers of the Panim Bread; [the] northeastern [chamber], in it the sons of the Hasmoneans concealed the stones of the Altar that the Greek kings had defiled; [the] northwestern [chamber], through it [the Kohanim] would descend to the immersion room.
