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 ) .

23 et duo ostia erant in templo et in sanctuario

24 et in duobus ostiis ex utraque parte bina erant ostiola quae in se invicem plicabantur bina enim ostia erant ex utraque parte ostiorum

26 super quae fenestrae obliquae et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in umerulis vestibuli secundum latera domus latitudinemque parietum
