Reading for May 6th

Read Ezekiel 41.12-26
In verses 12-15a the unidentified building is behind the Temple to the west.
In verses 41.15b-26 the interior decoration of the Temple.
Paneled, Greek (compare v.16 and 1 Kings 6.9; 7.3, 7).
Hebrew reads "thresholds."
The cherubim and palm trees carved into the paneling of the interior walls represent
images from the garden of Eden (see 1 Kings 6.29).
Unlike the cherubim who bear the throne chariot, these have only two faces,
a human and a young lion.
Something resembling an altar of wood: the table for the presentation of rows of
"the bread of the Presence" (Ex 25.23-30; Lev 24.5-9; 1 Kings 7.48).
