8. I also saw that the Temple had a raised base all the way around it. It was the foundation for the side rooms, and it was a full ruler high.
9. The outer wall of the side rooms was 5 cubits thick. There was an open area between the side rooms of the Temple
10. and the priests’ rooms. It was 20 cubits wide and went all the way around the Temple.
11. The doors of the side rooms opened onto the raised base. There was one entrance on the north side and one entrance on the south side. The raised base was 5 cubits wide all around.
12. There was a building in this restricted area west of the Temple. The building was 70 cubits wide and 90 cubits long. The wall of the building was 5 cubits thick all around.
13. Then the man measured the Temple. The Temple was 100 cubits long. The restricted area, including the building and its walls, was also 100 cubits long.
14. The restricted area on the east side, in front of the Temple, was 100 cubits long.
15. The man measured the length of the building in the restricted area at the rear of the Temple. It was 100 cubits from one wall to the other wall. The Most Holy Place, the Holy Place, and the porch by the courtyard
16. had wood paneling on all the walls. All the windows and doors had wood trim around them. By the doorway, the Temple had wood paneling from the floor up to the windows and up to the part of the wall
17. over the doorway. On all the walls in the inner room and the outer room of the Temple were carvings
18. of Cherub angels and palm trees. A palm tree was between each Cherub angel. Every Cherub angel had two faces.
19. One face was a man’s face looking toward the palm tree on one side. The other face was a lion’s face looking toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all around on the Temple.
20. From the floor to the area above the door, Cherub angels and palm trees were carved on all walls of the Holy Place.
21. The walls on either side of the Holy Place were square. In front of the Most Holy Place, there was something that looked like
22. an altar made from wood. It was 3 cubits high and 2 cubits long. Its corners, its base, and its sides were wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord.”
23. Both the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place had a double door.
