Chapter 41 19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

Chapter 42 1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.3 Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.6 For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.7 And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.8 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.10 The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.12 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
