Ezekiel 41:15-26
Lexham English Bible
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.

New Living Translation
15 The building to the west, including its two walls, was also 175 feet wide.
The sanctuary, the inner room, and the entry room of the Temple 16 were all paneled with wood, as were the frames of the recessed windows. The inner walls of the Temple were paneled with wood above and below the windows. 17 The space above the door leading into the inner room, and its walls inside and out, were also paneled. 18 All the walls were decorated with carvings of cherubim, each with two faces, and there was a carving of a palm tree between each of the cherubim. 19 One face—that of a man—looked toward the palm tree on one side. The other face—that of a young lion—looked toward the palm tree on the other side. The figures were carved all along the inside of the Temple, 20 from the floor to the top of the walls, including the outer wall of the sanctuary.
21 There were square columns at the entrance to the sanctuary, and the ones at the entrance of the Most Holy Place were similar. 22 There was an altar made of wood, 5 1⁄4 feet high and 3 1⁄2 feet across.[a] Its corners, base, and sides were all made of wood. “This,” the man told me, “is the table that stands in the Lord’s presence.”
23 Both the sanctuary and the Most Holy Place had double doorways, 24 each with two swinging doors. 25 The doors leading into the sanctuary were decorated with carved cherubim and palm trees, just as on the walls. And there was a wooden roof at the front of the entry room to the Temple. 26 On both sides of the entry room were recessed windows decorated with carved palm trees. The side rooms along the outside wall also had roofs.
