Reading for March 25th

Read Ezekiel 41.12-26 In verses 12-15a: The unidentitied building is behind the Temple to the west. In verses 15b-26: The inerior decoration of the Temple. Paneled, Greek (compare v. 16 and 1 Kings 6.9; 7.3, 7). Hebrew reads "thresholds." The cherubim and palm tress 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). Comments or Questions..
