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.

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)
