Ezekiel 41:17-26

17 To that above the door, even to the inner house, and without, and by all the wall around within and without, by measure.

18 And [it was] made with cherubim and palm-trees, so that a palm-tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces;

19 So that the face of a man [was] towards the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm-tree on the other side: [it was] made through all the house around.

20 From the ground to above the door [were] cherubim and palm-trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple.

21 The posts of the temple [were] squared, [and] the face of the sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the other].

22 The altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, [were] of wood: and he said to me, This [is] the table that [is] before the LORD.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 And the doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves; two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other [door].

25 And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, as [were] made upon the walls; and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

26 And [there were] narrow windows and palm-trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the side-chambers of the house, and thick planks.
