22<\/strong>. the whole altar that<\/em> was by the oracle<\/em> ] The preposition is not significant of position, but of possession. Read ‘the whole altar that belonged to<\/strong> the oracle.’ The priest who offered incense continually on this altar in the holy place could not enter the most holy place, but the altar on which the offering was made, though standing without, was looked upon as a part of the more sacred portion of the building, and placed close to the dividing wall.<\/p>\n The lavish use of the precious metals in ornamentation was a special feature if early Oriental architecture. Recent researches have given reason to believe that two stages of the great temple at Borsippa – now known as the Bits Nimrud – had respectively a gold and a silver coating.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 22<\/span>. The whole house he overlaid with gold<\/B><\/I>] It is impossible to calculate this expense, or the quantity of gold employed in this sacred building.<\/P> <\/p>\n The whole house<\/B>; not only the oracle, but all the holy place; and, as some add, even the chambers belonging to it. <\/P> The whole altar that was by the oracle<\/B>, i.e. the altar of incense, which was set in the holy place close by the doors of the oracle. <\/P> He overlaid with gold<\/B>, as before he overlaid it with cedar; of which See Poole “1Ki 6:20<\/span>“. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the whole house he overlaid with gold<\/strong>,…. Both the holy place, and the most holy place:<\/p>\n until he had finished all the house<\/strong>; in this splendid and glorious manner:<\/p>\n also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle<\/strong>; the altar of incense, which stood just before the entrance into the oracle, or most holy place:<\/p>\n he overlaid with gold<\/strong>; he overlaid it all over with gold; hence it is called the golden altar, and was an emblem of the excellent and effectual mediation and intercession of Christ, Re 8:3<\/span>. Agreeably to this account Eupolemus, an Heathen writer d testifies, that the whole house, from the floor to the tool, was covered with gold, as well as with cedar and cypress wood, that the stonework might not appear; and so the capitol at Rome, perhaps in imitation of this temple, its roofs and tiles were glided with gold e; a magnificent temple, like this, was at Upsal in Switzerland, as Olaus Magnus relates f.<\/p>\n d Apud Euseb.

Septent. l. 3. c. 5.<\/p>\n (22) The whole altar that was by <\/strong>(or belonged to) the oracle.<\/strong>This is the altar of incense, which, although it stood (see Exo. 30:6<\/span>; Exo. 40:26<\/span>) before the veil, and therefore in the Holy place, was considered to belong in idea rather to the Holy of Holies; since the offering of incense on it signified the approach by worship to the unseen presence of God, symbolised in the darkness and silence of the inner shrine; and the taking of the censer from it was a condition for the actual entrance into the Holy of Holies on the great Day of Atonement. Hence in Exo. 40:5<\/span> the altar is said to be set before the ark of the testimony, and here to belong to the oracle. Probably this is the explanation of the well-known passage in the Epistle to the Hebrews (1Ki. 9:4<\/span>), where the Holiest place is said to have had the altar of incense (wrongly rendered censer in our Authorised Version).<\/p>\n 22<\/strong>. <\/strong> The whole house he overlaid with gold <\/strong> That is, the whole interior of the holy place and the most holy was overlaid with gold, like the boards of the tabernacle. Exo 26:29<\/span>. The prominence given to the golden covering of the various parts of the temple not only shows the exceeding expensiveness of the building, but also points in symbol to the excellence and preciousness of the Church of the living God. <\/p>\n The whole altar <\/strong> The entire outside of the altar, top, sides, and horns, as specified in Exo 30:3<\/span>. <\/p>\n That was by the oracle <\/strong> The golden altar of incense was placed directly in front of the vail that concealed the oracle from view, (Exo 30:6<\/span>,) and so might be said to belong to <\/em> the oracle. Compare note on 1Ki 6:20<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ki 6:22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.<\/p>\n Ver. 22. And the whole house he overlaid with gold.<\/strong> ] So that it dazzled the eyes of the beholders, as Josephus testifieth: so that there was need to say – as the priests did at the temple of Ephesus, which was covered likewise with gold – to such as went in, Tenets oculos,<\/em> look to your eyes. For the mystery, Quid est Templi illius aurea claritas,<\/em> saith Rupertus, nisi ad dextram Patris sedentis immortalitas atque impassibilitas?<\/em> What else is all this golden glister but the immortality and impassibility of him who sitteth at the right hand of his heavenly Father? And the polished cedars overlaid with fine gold, show the beauty of the Church, saith another, to be inward, pure, and precious, though unperceived of the world. Psa 45:1-17 <\/p>\n whole house. Figure of speech Synecdoche (of Whole). App-6. Put for every part of it. <\/p>\n the whole house: It is impossible to calculate this expense, or the quantity of gold employed in this sacred building; but both must have been immense. <\/p>\n also: 1Ki 6:20, Exo 30:1, Exo 30:3, Exo 30:5, Exo 30:6, 2Ch 3:7-14 <\/p>\n the whole altar: This was the altar of incense without the vail, in the holy place, which was twice the length of the most holy place. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ch 3:5 – the greater Psa 28:2 – thy holy oracle Eze 41:22 – altar<\/p>\n 1Ki 6:22. And the whole house he overlaid with gold Not only the oracle, but all the holy place; and, as some think, even the chambers belonging to it. Also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold That is, the altar of incense; thence called the golden altar; which was in the upper end of the sanctuary, near the entrance of the oracle. This he covered with cedar, (1Ki 6:20,) and now overlaid with gold.<\/p>\n 6:22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the {l} whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.<\/p>\n (l) Meaning, the altar of incense, Exo 30:1.<\/p>\n And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold. 22. the whole altar that was by the oracle ] The preposition is not significant of position, but of possession.
