Context of Ezekiel 41:23

21The doorposts of the great hall were square, and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance. 22The altar was made of wood, 5¼ feet high and 3½ feet long. It had corners, and its length and sides were of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.” The great hall and the sanctuary each had a double door, 24and each of the doors had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other. 25Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the great hall like those carved on the walls. There was a wooden canopy outside, in front of the portico.
