Ezekiel 41:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 41:24

And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves
Each of these doors had two leaves, which met in a middle post, and might be opened either singly or together, as occasion required; (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:48): two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door;
two for the door of the temple, and two for the door of the most holy place; or each leaf of both doors had two foldings; as there were two leaves in a door, there were two foldings in every leaf; so that the door might be opened wider or narrower, as was thought fit; denoting the greater number of persons let in, and the greater light and knowledge had, at one time than at another; see ( 1 Kings 6:31 1 Kings 6:34 ) .
