There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
The cherubim carved on these walls, each wearing a man's face on one side and a lion's face on the other, show us the character angels bear in their warfare against darkness: the wisdom of man joined with the courage of a lion, both fixed toward the palm of victory. These ornaments teach us that in the assemblies of God's people, the holy angels are present and active.

Commenting on Ezekiel 41:12-26
The altar stood three cubits high, square at two cubits, made entirely of wood with its horns and base. The guide calls it the table before the Lord, joining it with the old sacrificial language of God's bread, though the tabernacle's shewbread table itself is gone from this vision.
