25<\/strong>. The doors of the holy place were carved with cherubs and palm trees just as the walls ( Eze 41:17<\/em><\/span> seq<\/em>.).<\/p>\n thick planks upon the face<\/em> ] The word rendered “thick planks” ( ‘ab<\/em>) occurs again 1Ki 7:6<\/span> in connexion with a porch, but is of uncertain meaning. Here it is said to lie outside the porch and in front of it, and might be the “landing” at the top of the flight of steps. Others think of an overhanging on the front of the roof, to protect the entrance. But in 1Ki 7:7<\/span> the ‘ab<\/em> fronts the pillars, as here it faces the porch. Therefore perhaps: “and a landing of wood in front of the porch on the outside.” No doubt “without” might describe the lie of the porch in reference to the house and not the lie of the ‘ab<\/em> in reference to the porch; in which case the ‘ab<\/em> would be something between the holy place and the porch, and in fact the description in Eze 41:26<\/em><\/span> refers to the inside<\/em> of the porch. Still this is less probable.<\/p>\n Verse 25<\/span>. There were <\/B>thick planks<\/B><\/I>] The wood, or planks, were thick and strong; for the cherubim and palm trees were carved in relief<\/I>, out of their substance, and unless they had been of considerable thickness, this could not have been done.<\/P> <\/p>\n Narrow windows:<\/B> see Eze 41:16<\/span>. <\/P> Palm trees:<\/B> see Eze 41:18<\/span>. <\/P> On the one side and on the other side; <\/B>on the north and on the south side, as you enter in from east toward the west; thus the sides of the porch outward were garnished. <\/P> Upon the side chambers; <\/B>which were thirty in a row, and three stories high: see Eze 41:6<\/span>. <\/P> Thick planks; <\/B>alike carved and beautified, and alike strengthening and defending the places where they were used. <\/P> <\/p>\n 25. thick planks<\/B>a thick-plankwork at the threshold.<\/P><\/p>\n And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple<\/strong>,…. Both of the holy, and the most holy place:<\/p>\n cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls<\/strong>; the doors of both places had the same decorations as the walls of each;<\/p>\n [See comments on Eze 41:18]<\/span>;<\/p>\n [See comments on Eze 41:19]<\/span>;<\/p>\n [See comments on Eze 41:20]<\/span>; and so it was in Solomon’s temple, 1Ki 6:32<\/span>, a cherub and a palm tree on each leaf, or on each folding of a leaf, according as it would admit of:<\/p>\n and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without<\/strong>; on the outward front of the porch were some thick wainscot boards, which projected as a cover to the entrance into it; or, as it may be rendered, also on<\/p>\n the thick piece of wood in the front of the porch without<\/strong> r; which, as Starckius thinks, was a large wooden bar, which shut and held in the folding leaves of the door; and on this, or these thick planks, were cherubim and palm trees.<\/p>\n r “etiam denso ligno in fronte vestibuli extrinsecus”, Junius Tremellius “et trabs lignea ante vestibulum erat foris”, Starckius.<\/p>\n (25) Thick planks.<\/strong>After stating that the doors just described were ornamented like the walls, the prophet speaks of something that was on the outer front of the porch. What this was, is extremely doubtful, as the word is elsewhere used only in 1Ki. 7:6<\/span>, of something in front of Solomons cloisters or porch of pillars. Perhaps the best suggestion is that it may have been a moulding of wood. The word in the original is in the singular.<\/p>\n ‘And there was decorated on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, in a similar way they were decorated on the walls, and there were thick beams of wood (or ‘a wooden canopy’) on the face of the vestibule outside, and there were narrowing windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the vestibule. Thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thick beams.’<\/p>\n The doors were decorated similarly to the remainder of the sanctuary. The meaning of the word translated ‘thick beams’ (or ‘canopy’) is not known. It is a technical term and may represent a canopy over the outer entranceway, or some other form of architectural embellishment. It must be recognised in much of what has been said above that detailed translation and interpretation is sometimes difficult. Ancient architectural terms and descriptions are used which were no doubt clear at the time, but have long since been forgotten. The general idea and description is, however, clear. The final description of the vestibule may indicate that there there were no cherubim. The description of the sanctuary building itself is now concluded.<\/p>\n The descriptions of this heavenly temple would be listened to with awe by Ezekiel’s audiences. Most had never even entered the court of the priests in the old temple. To them these descriptions were fascinating and awe inspiring, and they reminded them in their detail of the perfection, holiness and unapproachability of God, and of their own unworthiness. They were also, with their measurements in multiples of five, a reminder of Israel’s covenant relationship with Yahweh. But more, they were also an indication of the fact that God once more awaited them in the land, and that there was a way open to Him through the shedding of blood. Most exhilarating of all was this fact that God’s invisible temple was once again situated in ‘the land’, His land, and awaited their homecoming, when they could themselves build a temple, the physical means by which they could enjoy and experience the heavenly temple.<\/p>\n Eze 41:25 And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls; and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without.<\/p>\n Ver. 25.

These doors had the same kind of ornamentation engraved on them as was on the walls. The thick planks were the kind used as stepping pieces or thresholds.<\/p>\n And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls; and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without. 25.
