1 Kings 6:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:31

And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive
tree
The door of the holy of holies was a two leaved or folding door, made of olive wood; typical of Christ, the door into the church above and below, the way to heaven and eternal life, the true olive tree:

the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall];
four cubits, twenty cubits being the breadth of the oracle; or the lintel was four cubits, twenty being the height of it also, ( 1 Kings 6:20 ) .

29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.

31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.

32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
