Context of Ezekiel 41:25

23The big hall of the temple and the Most Holy Place both had doors that were in two parts. 24The doors were fixed on both sides of each entrance and they opened in the middle. Workers had cut pictures on the doors of the big hall. They were pictures of palm trees and cherubs, like the pictures on the walls. There was a roof over the outside of the door to the entrance room. It was made of wood. 26The entrance room had narrow windows in the walls on each side. The windows had pictures of palm trees on each side. Workers had cut shapes of palm trees on its walls. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs over the outside of their doors.
