Kaisipang Hudyo sa Ezekiel 41:17: The Third Beit HaMikdash

“There were doorposts… and the windows were covered,”²Ibid,:16. i.e. wooden frames were made for the windows and the frames “were covered,” plated with gold, for the entire Sanctuary was plated with gold, and gold plate cannot be applied to stone. There were large boards that would cover, “to the space above the height of the entrance… on the entire wall, all around,”³Ibid.:17. i.e., on all the walls of the Sanctuary, “in the inner [chamber],” i.e., the Holy of Holies, “and in the outer [chamber],” i.e., the Sanctuary. The boards were “carefully measured.” Designs were carved on these boards, including “cherubs and date palms; there was a date palm between one cherub and another. Each cherub had two faces, and there was a human face.”⁴Ibid.:18-19.
