14 The eastern side of the temple, including the open area, was also 175 feet wide.
14
The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
15 He also measured the length of the building facing the courtyard on the west side along with its corridors on both sides. It was 175 feet long. The holy place and the most holy place were paneled.
15
Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court,
16 The doorposts, the small windows, and the corridors of all three stories were paneled. The walls, from the floor up to the windows, were paneled.
16
as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows 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.
17 In the space above the door to the most holy place and on the walls all around it,
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 there were pictures of angels and palm trees. Palm trees were positioned between each of the angels, and each angel had two faces:
18
were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:
19 the face of a man, which was turned toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a lion, which was turned toward a palm tree on the other side. These pictures were carved all around the temple.
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.
20 Pictures of angels and palm trees were carved on the walls from the floor to the space above the door.

The main hall had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar.
22 There was a wooden altar, 5 feet high and 3½ feet wide. Its corners, its base, and its sides were made of wood. Then the man told me, "This is the table that is in the presence of the LORD."
22
There was a wooden altar three cubits high and two cubits square ; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

Both the main hall and the Most Holy Place had double doors.
24 Each of the doors were double doors that swung open.
