Ezekiel Chapter 41 Vs. 25

 The Inner Temple


And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without. Eze 41:25



These doors, like the wainscoting, were decorated with palm trees and cherubims. These thick planks could be for decoration, or for trimming. They could also, have made a wooden face for the front.



Double doors led to the outer sanctuary of the temple and to the most holy place. The doors to the outer sanctuary had cherubim and palm trees… carved on them (cf. Eze. 41:17-20).

Again Carved cherubim and palm trees were etched into the wood that covered the interior of the temple building. The carved cherubim represent the guardians of God’s dwelling place (cf. Eze. 1:4-28; 10:1-22). Possibly the palm trees represent the fruitfulness and blessing provided by God. These decorations are similar to those Solomon included in his temple (cf. 1Ki. 6:29).
