Ezekiel 41:20-23

20 from the floor to above the doors.
21 The doorposts of the Holy Place were square. In front of the entrance of the Most Holy Place there was something that looked like
22 a wooden altar. It was 5 feet high and 4 feet wide. Its corner posts, its base, and its sides were all made of wood. The man said to me, "This is the table which stands in the presence of the Lord."
23 There was a door at the end of the passageway to the Holy Place and one also at the end of the passageway to the Most Holy Place.
