1 Kings 6:30 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:30

And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and
without.
] Both the floor of the holy place, and of the holy of holies; so the street of the new Jerusalem is said to be pure gold, ( Revelation 21:21 ) ; this expresses the purity and magnificence of it, particularly the holy conversation of them that dwell in the church, in heaven, signified hereby.

1 Kings 6:30 In-Context

28 And he covered the cherubims with gold, and (also) all the walls of the (whole) temple by compass/about;
29 and he graved them with diverse gravings and smoothness; and he made in those walls cherubims, and palms, and diverse paintures, as standing forth and going out of the wall. (and he carved into them diverse carvings; he made cherubim, and palms, and open flowers on those walls, standing forth from the walls, and going out of them.)
30 But also he covered with gold the pavement of the house, within and withoutforth. (And he also covered the floor of the Temple, within and without, with gold.)
31 And in the entering of God's answering place he made two little doors of the trees of olives; and he made posts of five corners, (And at the entrance to the Inner Temple, he made two doors of olive wood; and he made posts with five corners,)
32 and [the] two doors (were) of the trees of olives; and he graved in those the painture of cherubims, and the likenesses of palms, and gravings above standing forth greatly; and he covered those with gold; and he covered as well the cherubims, as [the] palms, and (the) other things, with gold. (and the two doors were made out of olive wood; and he carved on them the likenesses of cherubim, and palms, and open flowers; and he covered them with gold; and he also covered the cherubim, and the palms, and the other things, with gold.)
