Ezekiel 41:15-26

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ And he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard^[a] at the rear^[b] and its galleries, a hundred cubits^[c] on each side,^[d] and also the temple, the court, and the porticos of the courtyard, ¹⁶ the thresholds and the framed windows and the galleries around the three of them. Before the threshold was a covering of wood all around,^[e] and from the ground up to the windows, and all around the windows, they were covered. ¹⁷ Above^[f] the doorway and up to the inner temple^[g] and on the outside, and on all of the wall all the way around^[h] in the inner and in the outer areas were patterns,^{[i] 18} and it was made of cherubim and palm tree images; a palm tree image between cherub and cherub, and the cherub had two faces.^{[j] 19} And the face of a human was toward^[k] the palm tree image on the one side,^[l] and the face of a fierce strong lion faced^[m] the palm tree image on the other side;^[n] this work was executed^[o] for the entire temple all the way around.^{[p] 20} From the ground up to above^[q] the doorway,^[r] the cherubim and the palm tree images were made,^[s] and also the outer wall of the temple.

²¹ As far as the temple is concerned its doorframe was squared, and before^[t] the sanctuary was the appearance as it were the appearance of ²² a wooden altar^[u] that was three cubits^[v] high, and its length was two cubits,^[w] and its corners^[x] for it and its length and its walls were of wood. And he spoke to me, “This is the table that is before^[y] Yahweh.” ²³ And the two doors were for the temple and for the sanctuary. ²⁴ And two leaves^[z] of a door were for each of the doors, two hinged leaves of a door: two were for the first door, and two leaves of a door were for the other door. ²⁵ And cherubim were made^[aa] on them, that is, on the doors of the temple and palm tree images like the ones prepared for the walls;^[ab] and an overhang of wood was on the surface of the porticos on the outside. ²⁶ And narrow windows and palm tree images were on either side,^[ac] and on the side walls of the portico, and the side rooms of the temple and their^[ad] overhang.
