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.

Ezekiel 41:23 In-Context

21 The main Sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe. In front of the Holy Place was something that looked like

22 an altar of wood, five and a quarter feet high and three and a half feet square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. The man said to me, "This is the table that stands before God."

23 Both the main Sanctuary and the Holy Place had double doors.

24 Each door had two leaves: two hinged leaves for each door, one set swinging inward and the other set outward.

25 The doors of the main Sanctuary were carved with angel-cherubim and palm trees. There was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside.
