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 ) .

Ezekiel 41:24 In-Context

22 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length of it two cubits; and the corners of it, and the length of it, and the walls of it, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before Yahweh.

23 The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 The doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves: two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

25 There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

26 There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thresholds.
