Ezekiel 41:15-26
New International Version
15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries(A) on each side; it was a hundred cubits.
The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court, 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows(B) and galleries around the three of them—everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered.(C) 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary 18 were carved(D) cherubim(E) and palm trees.(F) Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:(G) 19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple.(H) 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.
21 The main hall(I) had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. 22 There was a wooden altar(J) three cubits[a] high and two cubits square[b]; its corners, its base[c] and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table(K) that is before the Lord.” 23 Both the main hall(L) and the Most Holy Place had double doors.(M) 24 Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves(N) for each door. 25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.(O)

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.
