17. In the space above the entrance to the Most Holy Place there were carvings. And on the outside and all the walls around the Most Holy Place and the Holy Place were carvings.
18. The carvings were of creatures with wings and palm trees. A palm tree was between each carved creature. Every creature had two faces.
19. One was a man’s face looking toward the palm tree on one side. The other was a lion’s face looking toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all around the Temple wall.
20. This was from the floor to above the door. Palm trees and creatures with wings were carved on all the walls of the Holy Place.
21. The walls of the Holy Place were square. In front of the Most Holy Place was something that looked like
22. an altar of wood. It was more than 5 feet high and 3 feet wide. Its corners, base and sides were wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of the Lord.”
