Context of Ezekiel 41:26

24Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. 25On the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees, like those carved on the walls, and there was a canopy of wood on the front of the outside porch. There were narrow windows and decorative palm trees on either side of the side walls of the porch; this is what the side chambers of the temple and the canopies were like.
