Ezekiel 41:15-26
New American Standard Bible
15 And he measured the length of the (A)building [a]along the front of the (B)separate area behind it, with a [b](C)gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner sanctuary and the porches of the courtyard. 16 The (D)thresholds, the [c](E)latticed windows, and the [d](F)galleries all around their (G)three stories, opposite the threshold, were (H)paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), 17 over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement. 18 It was [e]carved with (I)cherubim and (J)palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces: 19 a (K)human face toward the palm tree on one side and a young (L)lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were [f]carved on all the house all around. 20 From the ground to above the entrance (M)cherubim and (N)palm trees were [g]carved, as well as on the wall of the sanctuary.
21 The (O)doorposts of the (P)sanctuary were square; as for the front of the inner [h]sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. 22 The (Q)altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; its corners, its [i]base, and its [j]sides were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the (R)table that is before the Lord.” 23 The (S)sanctuary and the inner [k](T)sanctuary each had a double (U)door. 24 Each of the doors had two leaves, two [l](V)swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 25 Also there were [m]carved on them, on the doors of the main room, (W)cherubim and (X)palm trees like those [n]carved on the walls; and there was a [o](Y)threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. 26 And there were [p](Z)latticed windows and (AA)palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the (AB)porch; the same were on the (AC)side chambers of the house and the [q]thresholds.

English Standard Version
15 Then he measured the length of (A)the building facing the yard that was at the back and (B)its galleries[a] on either side, a hundred cubits.
The inside of the nave and the vestibules of the court, 16 (C)the thresholds and (D)the narrow windows and the galleries all around the three of them, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered), 17 to the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside. And on all the walls all around, inside and outside, was a measured pattern.[b] 18 It was carved of (E)cherubim and (F)palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces: 19 (G)a human face toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around. 20 From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave.
21 The doorposts of (H)the nave were squared, and in front of (I)the Holy Place was something resembling 22 (J)an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits broad.[c] Its corners, its base,[d] and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is (K)the table that is before the Lord.” 23 The nave and the Holy Place had each (L)a double door. 24 The double doors had two leaves apiece, (M)two swinging leaves for each door. 25 And on the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, (N)such as were carved on the walls. And there was (O)a canopy[e] of wood in front of (P)the vestibule outside. 26 And there were (Q)narrow windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule, (R)the side chambers of the temple, and the (S)canopies.
