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 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood; the lintel and the doorposts formed a pentagon.

32 He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; he overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim and upon the palm trees.

33 So also he made for the entrance to the nave doorposts of olivewood, in the form of a square,

34 and two doors of cypress wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

35 On them he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied upon the carved work.
