Context of Ezekiel 41:19

Thus was it made through all the house round about: 20from the ground unto above the door were cherubim and palm-trees made; thus was the wall of the temple. 21As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance thereof was as the appearance of the temple.
