Ezekiel 41:20-26

20 from the floor to above the door cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall.

21 The doorposts of the nave were squared; and in front of the holy place was something resembling

22 an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits broad; its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, "This is the table which is before the LORD."

23 The nave and the holy place had each a double door.

24 The doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door.

25 And 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.
