Context — The Interior Structures
17In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,
18were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:
19the 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.
20Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance. 21The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.Cross References

So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side,.... The cherubim in this verse are the same with the living creatures this prophet saw by the river Chebar, and which he knew to be
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 41:19
And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 41:19
The face of a man, this one face, the other of a young lion. Now as to the aspect, it was thus; the cherub between two palm trees looked towards both trees, towards the one a man’ s face, towards the other a young lion’ s face, looked. And thus it was through the whole house round about, and from bottom to top, as .
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 41:19
Ezekiel 41:19 So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [it was] made through all the house round about.Ver. 19. So that the face of a man.] See Ezekiel 1:10. And the face of a young lion towards the palm tree.] The palm tree, as it grew best in Judea, so it is probable that from the temple at Jerusalem it came at first, that the heathens put the palm for a sign of victory, and that the picture of Victory among them had in the one hand a palm, and in the other an olive branch. Wisdom (the praise of a man) and courage (the property of a lion), zeal and discretion, as they make a good mixture, so they conquer and carry it.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 41:19
18-20. The symbolic meaning of the carving upon the wainscoting was doubtless the same as the similar carving in Solomon’s temple.
