LXX. Of the Figures that were upon the Walls of the inner Temple.
The Wall of the inner Temple, which was a type of Heaven, was, as I have already told you, Ceiled with Cedar from the bottom to the top. Now by the Vision of Ezekiel, it is said, this Wall was Carved with Cherubims and Palm-Trees, So that a Palm-Tree was between a Cherub and a Cherub; and every Cherub had two Faces: So that the Face of a man was toward the Palm-Tree on the one side, and the Face of a young Lyon toward the Palm-Tree on the other side. It was made through all the House round about; from the ground to above the door, were the Cherubims and the Palm-Trees made; Ezek. 41.17, 18, 19, 20.

1. As to these Cherubims and Palm-Trees, I have already told you what I think them to be Figures of. The Cherubims are Figures of the holy Angels, and the Palm-Trees of Upright Ones: We therefore here are to Discourse only of the placing of them in the Heavens.
