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 ) .

33 And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:

34 And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.

35 And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.
