Ezekiel 41:15-26
Christian Standard Bible
15 Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple yard to the west, with its galleries[a] on each side;(A) it was 175 feet.
Interior Wooden Structures
The interior of the great hall and the porticoes of the court— 16 the thresholds, the beveled windows,(B) and the balconies all around with their three levels opposite the threshold—were overlaid with wood on all sides.(C) They were paneled from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 17 reaching to the top of the entrance, and as far as the inner temple and on the outside. On every wall all around, on the inside and outside, was a pattern 18 carved with cherubim and palm trees.(D) There was a palm tree between each pair of cherubim.(E) Each cherub had two faces: 19 a human face turned toward the palm tree on one side,(F) and a lion’s face turned toward it on the other. They were carved throughout the temple on all sides. 20 Cherubim and palm trees were carved from the ground to the top of the entrance and on the wall of the great hall.
21 The doorposts of the great hall were square,(G) and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance. 22 The altar was[b] made of wood, 5¼ feet[c] high and 3½ feet long.[d] It had corners, and its length[e] and sides were of wood.(H) The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”(I)
23 The great hall and the sanctuary each had a double door,(J) 24 and each of the doors had two swinging panels.(K) There were two panels for one door and two for the other. 25 Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the great hall like those carved on the walls. There was a wooden canopy[f](L) outside, in front of the portico. 26 There were beveled windows and palm trees on both sides,(M) on the side walls of the portico, the side rooms of the temple, and the canopies.[g]

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)
