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
The posts of the temple were squared,.... Or, were "foursquare" n; the two posts on each side the door, the lintel and the threshold, made a square; the posts themselves were not round, as pillars, but flat and square; and the upper part was not arched, as in some buildings, but square. Jarchi says he had heard that the posts of Solomon's temple were foursquare; but that is not certain; however, these were. The Vulgate Latin version renders it "four cornered"; as doors formerly were: this was the ancient way of building, as Philander o observes; almost everything in this wonderful building was foursquare; denoting the firmness, stability, and perfection of all things in it:
and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other; that is, the front of the holy of holies was like that of the temple; they both had the same appearance, though one was larger than another. The posts of the one were squared, even as the posts of the other; showing that the same is the way of entrance into the Gospel church and into the New Jerusalem church state, and even into the heavenly glory, which is Christ; and, whether in the less or more perfect state of the church on earth, there are the same precious faith, and love, and communion, though different degrees. The Targum is,
"and the face of the house of the propitiatory; and its appearance as the appearance of its glory;''
which Jarchi interprets, as the appearance of the throne of glory, seen by the prophet at the river Chebar, Ezekiel 1:26.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The posts - Not the word used before (see Ezekiel 40:9 note). These “posts” are rather pilasters forming part of the inner walls.
The appearance ... other - i. e., the appearance in this vision was the same as in the actual temple (compare Ezekiel 43:3); (or, according to others, the front of the sanctuary resembled, the front of the holy place).
