Ezekiel Chapter 41 Vs. 26

 The Inner Temple


And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks. Eze 41:26



narrow windows and... Narrow windows with palm trees between them were in many parts of all these buildings.

palm trees on... The facings around the windows were decorated with palm trees.

and upon the... All of this is describing a very similar area, to the temple and its surroundings that had been in Jerusalem. Some of the details were a little different, but it is very familiar. This was a large complex approximately 750 feet long, and in places, three stories high. It was highly decorated, but there was a noticeable lack of gold and silver.




Ezekiel then recorded the overall dimensions of the temple proper (Eze. 41:12-15) and described its decorations and furnishings (Eze. 41:16-26).

Immediately west of the temple was a structure described as the building facing the temple courtyard on the west side (Eze. 41:12).

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.

The doors to the outer sanctuary had cherubim and palm trees… carved on them (cf. Eze. 41:17-20).
