Ezekiel 41:20

18 were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:

19 the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple.

Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.

21 The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.

22 There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
