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)
