1 Kings 6:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:33

So also made he for the door of the temple
The holy place:

posts [of] olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall];
which was five cubits, its breadth being twenty, ( 1 Kings 6:20 ) ; this door was a cubit wider than that into the most holy place, ( 1 Kings 6:31 ) , more entering into the one than into the other; as more go into the church on earth than into the heavenly glory.

1 Kings 6:33 In-Context

31 He constructed doors of olivewood for the entrance to the Inner Sanctuary; the lintel and doorposts were five-sided.
32 The doors were also carved with cherubim, palm trees, and flowers, and then covered with gold leaf.
