16. were paneled; the windows had recesses and precious wood trim around all three sides except the sill. Paneling covered the walls from the floor up to the windows and even the window sections.
17. Even above the doorway and in the inner part of the temple and outside as well, around all the walls inside and out,
18. were figures of cherubim and palm trees: a palm tree between each pair of cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:
19. the face of a human being looked toward one palm tree and the face of a lion looked toward the other palm tree. Thus the figures covered all the walls around the temple.
20. From the floor to the lintel of the door, cherubim and palm trees decorated the walls.
21. The nave had a square door frame, and inside facing the holy place was something that looked like
22. a wooden altar, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits wide. It had corners and a wooden base and sides. He said to me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”
23. The nave had a double door, and the holy place
24. also had a double door; each door had two sections that could move; two sections on one door, and two on the other.
25. Cherubim and palm trees decorated the doors of the nave like the decoration on the walls. Outside a wooden lattice faced the vestibule.
26. There were recessed windows and palm trees on the side walls of the vestibule. The side chambers of the temple also had latticework.
