1 Kings 6:34 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:34

And the two doors [were of] fir tree
the posts were of olive, but the doors of fir, and they were both folding doors, as appears by what follows:

the two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of
the other door [were] folding;
which, taking up less room, made the passage wider, see ( Ezekiel 41:24 ) .
