Ezekiel 41:25
23 Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,
24 and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.
Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico.
26 There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
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.
