13Then the man measured the outside of the temple building. It was 50 metres long. He measured from the back of the temple across the open space to the back wall of the large building. That was also 50 metres. 14He measured the front of the temple building and the open space on each side. That was 50 metres too. He measured the building at the back of the temple yard, on the west side. That was also 50 metres, including the side rooms at each end. Wooden boards covered the walls of the big hall, the inside room and the entrance room of the temple. 16The boards covered the walls from the floor up to the windows, and above the windows. They used wood to make the edges of the windows. They also covered the windows. 17Workers had cut pictures in the wood above the doors and all over the walls. They were pictures of palm trees and cherubs. There was a picture of a palm tree between each cherub. They covered all the inside walls of the temple. Each cherub had two faces.
