13 Then the man measured the temple as being fifty-four metres long. The separate building, its wall, and the courtyard combined also measured fifty-four metres across. 14 The width of the front of the courtyard in front of the temple was also fifty-four metres.

15 Then the man measured the length of the building behind the temple, to its west, and including the galleries on either side, it came to fifty-four metres.

The sacred inner place and the porch, 16 the inner walls and the windows, including the narrow windows, and the galleries all around on three levels, were all panelled in wood. 17 Above the entryway to the inner sanctuary and spaced along the walls there was a repeating pattern. 18 It was decorated with winged creatures and palm trees—with a palm tree between each winged creature, and each winged creature had two faces: 19 the human face looked toward a palm tree on one side, and the young lion face looked toward a palm tree on the other side. They were carved all around the entire temple. 20 From the ground to above the doorway, winged creatures and palm trees were carved on the outer wall of the temple. 21 The door posts of the main temple room were square, all with the same appearance. 22 The wooden altar was one metre on each side and stood one and a half metres high. Its corner posts, base, and frame were all made of wood.

Then the man said to me, “This is the table that stands in Yahweh’s presence.”
