13. The man measured the length of the temple, and it was fifty metres. He then measured from the back wall of the temple, across the open space behind the temple, to the back wall of the west building; it was fifty metres.
14. The distance across the front of the temple, including the open space on either side, was also fifty metres.
15. Finally, the man measured the length of the west building, including the side rooms on each end, and it was also fifty metres.The inside walls of the temple's porch and main room
16. were panelled with wood all the way from the floor to the windows, while the doorways, the small windows, and the three side rooms were trimmed in wood.
17. The panelling stopped just above the doorway. These walls were decorated
18-20. with carvings of winged creatures and had a carving of a palm tree between the creatures. Each winged creature had two faces: a human face looking at the palm tree on one side, and a lion's face looking at the palm tree on the other side. These designs were carved into the panelling all the way around the two rooms.
21. The doorframe to the temple's main room was in the shape of a rectangle.In front of the doorway to the most holy place was something that looked like
22. a wooden altar. It was one and a half metres high and one metre square, and its corners, its base, and its sides were made of wood. The man said, “This is a reminder that the Lord is constantly watching over his temple.”
23. Both the doorway to the main room of the temple and the doorway to the most holy place had two doors,
24. and each door had two sections that could fold open.
25. The doors to the main room were decorated with carvings of winged creatures and palm trees just like those on the walls, and there was a wooden covering over the porch just outside these doors.
26. The walls on each side of this porch had small windows and were also decorated with carvings of palm trees.
