Ezekiel 41:15-20
Summary for Ezek 41:15-20: 41:15-20 a The Temple building was all paneled with wood and decorated with palm trees and cherubim. The cherubim were like those described in Ezekiel’s earlier visions of judgment (see 1:5-12 b; 10:2-14 c). But where those real-life cherubim had four faces, the carved two-dimensional models are depicted with only two faces—that of a lion, the highest of the wild animals, and a human, the pinnacle of the created order. Cherubim also adorned Solomon’s Temple (1 Kgs 6:32 d); they were traditional symbols of judgment that complemented the palm trees, traditional symbols of blessing.
