Ezekiel 41:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:23

And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
] Or the house of propitiatory, as the Targum; that is, the most holy place; not two doors apiece, but each had one door, which made two; the door of the temple was ten cubits broad, and the door of the most holy place six cubits, ( Ezekiel 41:2 Ezekiel 41:3 ) showing the door is wider, and more enter into the outward visible church, or less perfect state, even some bad, as well as good, than the door of the Jerusalem church state, or heavenly glory, into which fewer enter.
