Contextual Overview

12 The building in front of the open space of the Lord's house, on the west side, was as wide as seventy cubits. The width of the building wall was five cubits, and it was as long as ninety cubits. 13 Then he showed me that the Lord's house was as long as 100 cubits. The open space and the other building and its walls were also as long as 100 cubits. 14 And the front of the Lord's house and its grounds on the east side were as wide as 100 cubits. 15 He showed me the length of the building to the west, with its walkways on each side. It was as long as 100 cubits. The center room, the most holy place, and the outer porch, 16 all had roofs of wood. And all three had windows with wooden cross-pieces all around. The inside walls of the house were covered with wood from the floor up to the windows, and from the windows to the roof. 17 There was wood covering the wall above the door, and all the way to the most holy place, and all the walls both inside and out. 18 Pictures of cherubim and palm trees were cut into the wood. A palm tree was between every two cherubim, and each cherub had two faces. 19 The face of a man looked toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward the palm tree on the other side. These pictures were cut into the wood all around the Lord's house. 20 There were cherubim and palm trees from the floor to above the door, and on the wall of the center room. 21 The pillars beside the door of the center room were the same width on all four sides, and they looked alike.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

To that above the door, even unto the inner house,.... The meaning is, either there were such windows as before described above the door of the eastern gate, that led into the holiest of all, and even unto the inner house, or holy of holies: and without; and to all the side, chambers that were built without it:

and by all the wall round about within and without; both within the holy place, and without, in the places adjoining to it, on all sides, west, north, and south; or all were cieled with cedar wood, that it might be more capable of being ornamented, either with gold, or with the decorations mentioned in the following verses: or the sense is, that all these were measured exactly: for it follows, "by measure"; or to all these "were measures" m; the dimensions were taken; every thing in the Gospel church state, whether in its less or more perfect state, will be all according to rule and measure.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To that ... - Over above the door ...”within and without” was “by measure.” This verse asserts that all the overlaying was done by careful measurement.
