Lishkas Hashemanim - Chamber of the Oils

In this chamber the oil, wine, and flour needed for sacrificial purposes were stored. When one wanted to offer a sacrifice that required these ingredients, he was required to buy them here.

The purchaser would first go to the Chamber of Receipts. He would tell the attendant the type of meal offering he needed. After paying for it, the attendant would hand over a receipt listing his purchases.

The receipt would be taken to this chamber and the attendant here would dispense the required amounts of oil, wine, and flour.
