Ezekiel 41:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:20

From the ground unto above the door
From the floor of the holy of holies to above the door of it to the east, where was the entrance into it; or from thence to the cieling, as the Septuagint version: "were cherubim and palm trees made"; either in rows one above another, quite up to the place mentioned; or they were made so large, that each cherub and palm tree reached from the ground to above the door, or to the cieling: and on the wall of the temple:
that is, they were not only thus placed in the holiest of all; but in the temple, or holy place on the wall of it all around; and shows, that in the state of the church in the latter day, which this part of the building represents more especially, will be great numbers of Gospel ministers, who will faithfully and uprightly preach it to men; see ( Daniel 12:4 ) ( Revelation 14:6 Revelation 14:7 Revelation 14:8 ) .

Ezekiel 41:20 In-Context

18 And cherubims and palm trees were made craftily, and (there was) a palm tree betwixt cherub and cherub; and (each) cherub had two faces, (were cherubim and palm trees, carved with craftsmanship, that is, made with precision, with a palm tree between one cherub and another cherub; and each cherub had two faces,)

19 (so that) the face of a man (was) beside the palm tree on this side, and the face of a lion (was) expressed beside the palm tree on the tother side. By all the house (of the Lord) in compass (By all the Temple all around),

20 from the earth till to the higher part, cherubims and palm trees were graven in the wall(s) of the temple. (from the ground, or the floor, until above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the walls of the Temple.)

21 A threshold was four-cornered; and the face of the beholding of the saintuary was (over) against the beholding of the altar of wood; (The gateposts of the sanctuary were four-cornered, or square; and in front of the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies, was what appeared to be a wooden altar;)

22 the height thereof was of three cubits, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood. And he spake to me, This is the board before the Lord. (its height was three cubits, and its length was two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were all made of wood. And he said to me, This is the table which stands before the Lord.)
