Ezekiel 41:13-26

Ezekiel 41:13-26 TPT

Then the shining man measured the length of the temple as one hundred cubits. The length of the courtyard plus the building and its walls was also one hundred cubits. The width of the courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was likewise one hundred cubits. Then he measured the length of the building west of the courtyard, including its balconies on either side, which was also one hundred cubits. The entire inside of the Holy Place, the porches of the courtyard, the thresholds, the windows, and the galleries on three sides that faced the threshold were paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows. And the windows were screened with latticework. On the door to the inner part of the temple and on all the walls all around, both inside and outside, were carved alternating cherubim and palm trees. Each of the cherubim had two faces, a human face that gazed toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a young lion turned toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved throughout the temple everywhere. The Holy Place had the same pattern of cherubim and palm trees carved on the wall from the floor to the space above the doors. The columns of the doorway to the Holy Place were square, and the columns at the entrance to the Holy of Holies were similar. A wooden altar was there, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits wide. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. The shining man said to me, “This is the table that always stands in the presence of YAHWEH.” The Holy Place and the Holy of Holies had double doors. Each of the doors had two hinged leaves that swung open in the middle. On the doors of the Holy Place were carved cherubim and palm trees just like those carved on the walls. There was a wooden roof over the outside of the doorway to the Holy Place. And there were niches with palm trees on either side in the front walls of the temple porch. And the side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
