Context of Ezekiel 41:20
18It was made with cheruvim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cheruv and cheruv. Every cheruv had two faces: 19the face of a man toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. Thus was it made on all the House all around. The cheruvim and palm trees were made from the ground up to above the door and on the wall of the Temple. 21The Temple’s doorposts were square. Now the front of the Sanctuary had something resembling 22an altar—three cubits high and two cubits long, made of wood. Its corners, its base and its sides were also of wood. He said to me, “This is the table of the Presence of Adonai.”
