Ezekiel 41:15-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ Then he measured the width of the building facing the yard at the west, together with its galleries^[a] on either side, one hundred cubits.

The nave of the temple’s interior and the outer^[b] vestibule^{(A) 16} were paneled,^[c] and all around all three had windows with recessed^[d] frames. Facing the threshold, the temple was paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered).^{(B) 17} On the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside and on all the walls all around in the inner room and the nave there was a pattern.^{[e] 18} It was formed of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces:^{(C) 19} a human face turned toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion turned toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around;^{(D) 20} from the floor to the area above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall.^[f]

²¹ The doorposts of the nave were square. In front of the holy place was something resembling^{(E) 22} an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits wide;^[g] its corners, its base,^[h] and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”^{(F) 23} The nave and the holy place had each a double door.^{(G) 24} The doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door. ²⁵ On the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, such as were carved on the walls, and there was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside. ²⁶ And there were recessed windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule.^[i](H)
