31 36<\/strong>. The doors for the oracle and for the Temple. The building of the inner court (Not in Chronicles)<\/p>\n 31<\/strong>. the lintel<\/em> and side posts<\/em> ] There is no conjunction between these words, and the former seems from other places in O. T. to apply to the whole framework in which the doors were fixed, the latter is used regularly of the part to which the hinges were attached. The idea meant to be conveyed here is of the whole structure of the doorway, the framework with its posts.<\/p>\n were a fifth<\/em> part of the wall] The expansion indicated by the italics of A. V. is no doubt correct both here and in 1Ki 6:33<\/span>. As the partition wall of the oracle was 20 cubits in height and the same in breadth the opening filled by the framework of the doorway would be 4 cubits high by 4 cubits broad.<\/p>\n A fifth part – <\/B>Better than the margin. The meaning seems to be that the lintel was one-fifth of the width of the wall, and each door-post one-fifth of its height. Thus the opening was a square of four cubits, or of six feet.<\/P><\/p>\n i.e. Four cubits in height or breadth, whereas the wall was twenty cubits. Or, <\/P> a fifth part<\/B> of the door now mentioned. Or rather, five-square<\/I>, having five sides and five angles, which is not incongruous nor unusual in buildings, <\/P> <\/p>\n 31-35. for the entering of theoracle<\/B>The door of the most holy place was made of solid olivetree and adorned with figures. The door of the holy place was made ofcypress wood, the sides being of olive wood.<\/P><\/p>\n And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree<\/strong>,…. The door of the holy of holies was a two leaved or folding door, made of olive wood; typical of Christ, the door into the church above and below, the way to heaven and eternal life, the true olive tree:<\/p>\n the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall]<\/strong>; four cubits, twenty cubits being the breadth of the oracle; or the lintel was four cubits, twenty being the height of it also, 1Ki 6:20<\/span>.<\/p>\n Commentary on <\/strong>1Ki 6:31-38<\/span>; AND <\/strong>2Ch 4:9<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Beautiful olive wood doors were made <\/em>through which to enter the oracle, or holy of holies. These were set in the vail, already described, separating the oracle and holy place (or larger front room of the temple sanctuary). These doors took up one-fifth of the space, or six feet, with the posts on which they hung. the figures of the palm trees, cherubim, and flowers were carved on these also, then covered with gold.<\/em><\/p>\n Doors were also constructed of cypress <\/em>(fir) to enter the holy place, or larger room of the sanctuary, through the curtain, or vail, at the front of the temple. These were a bit larger, being one-fourth of the overall width, or seven and a half feet, their olive wood door posts. The two doors in the front were folding doors rather than hinged. These were decorated in similar manner to the doors to the oracle and covered with gold.<\/em><\/p>\n The court immediately adjacent to the sanctuary <\/em>of the temple was called the inner court, and was constructed of three rows of hewed stone and a row of cedar beams. In 2Ch 4:9<\/span> this is called the court of the priests. The great court is also mentioned there. The doors which gave admission to this area were covered with bronze (the correct rendering of the original Hebrew, rather than “brass”).<\/em><\/p>\n Verses 37, 38 sum up the chronology <\/em>of the building of the temple. Solomon had begun to build in his fourth year, in the second month of the year, Zif. He completed the building in his eleventh year, the eighth month, Bul. Nothing was left undone. The magnificent structure was done in six and a half years, though the account here rounds it off to seven.<\/em><\/p>\n Some lessons : 1) God has a pattern of service to be followed by His people, which in their so doing will bring their greatest blessing; 2) the beauty of the temple is a weak foreview of the majesty of heaven; 3) God approves beautiful places of worship if rightly used for Him.<\/p>\n (31) Doors.<\/strong>The two doors of olive wood, from the Holy place into the Oracle, which as a rule stood open, showing the veil and the golden chains, were of moderate size. If our version (as is probable) is correct, the outside measure of the lintel and post was a fifth part of the wall, that is, four cubits, or six feet. Each door, therefore, would be something less than six feet by three. The description of the gilding states with minute accuracy that in overlaying the whole of these doors with gold, gold was spread, that is, made to cover the carvings in relief (the cherubim of 1Ki. 6:35<\/span>); in the other doors the gold was fitted, probably beaten into shape, over the carved work.<\/p>\n 31<\/strong>. <\/strong> The entering of the oracle <\/strong> The doorway, or place of entrance. It appears that the oracle had no other opening than this. There was no other door, and there were no windows, for Jehovah would dwell in the thick darkness, (1Ki 8:12<\/span>,) and thereby indicate to his human worshippers that his ways and his being are past finding out. He makes darkness his pavilion to teach his worshippers the folly of thinking to find out the Almighty to perfection. <\/p>\n The lintel <\/strong> , pilaster. <\/em> “The projection which always springing, pillar-like, out of adjacent recesses on both sides, fronts toward the space where is the entrance and through passage.” Furst. <\/em> It would be better, then, to render either the pilaster of the side-posts, <\/em> or, with Keil, to attach side-posts <\/em> to pilaster <\/em> as an explanatory apposition the pilaster, namely, the projecting side-posts.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n A fifth part <\/strong> Of the doorway or entrance; not of the wall<\/strong>, as our translators have supplied. The meaning is, that the pilasters on each side of the doorway projected outward in bold relief, and took up one fifth of the passage between the side-posts.<\/p>\n The Doors Guarding The Two Rooms Of The Temple, The Inner Doors and The Outer Doors ( 1Ki 6:31-35<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> ). <\/p>\n 1Ki 6:31<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n ‘<\/strong> And for the entrance of the inner room he made doors of olive-wood, the lintel and doorposts were a fifth part of the wall.’ <\/p>\n The way into the inner room was not only to be guarded by the curtain, but also by two doors of olive wood covering four fifths of the space, the other fifth being occupied by the lintels and the door posts. <\/p>\n 1Ki 6:32<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/strong> So he made two doors of olive-wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and he spread the gold on the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.’ <\/p>\n These two doors of olive wood again had on them carvings of Cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and both the doors and the carvings were also overlaid with gold. <\/p>\n 1Ki 6:33-34<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/strong> So he also made for the entrance of the temple doorposts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part of the wall; and two doors of pine-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.’ <\/p>\n Similarly doors were made to cover the entrance into the outer sanctuary. These were made of pine wood, and the door posts of olive wood. The door posts took up a quarter of the space, and two doors, which folded in two, covered the remainder of the space. <\/p>\n 1Ki 6:35<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/strong> And he carved on them cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the graven work.’ <\/p>\n And on these also were carved Cherubim and palm trees and open flowers. And these also were overlaid with gold. Thus anyone who approached the sanctuary would be made aware of Cherubim guarding the way, and palm trees and open flowers reminding them of how once their ancestor had walked in the garden of God. And the priests who entered would find themselves surrounded by these on all sides as they sought to maintain the access of the people into God’s mercy. <\/p>\n 1Ki 6:31<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>The lintel, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> The post which was the door cheeks, was at the fifth cubit. <\/em>Lightf. vol. i. 1084. <\/p>\n 1Ki 6:31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall].<\/p>\n Ver. 31. Doors of olive tree.<\/strong> ] Which kind of wood is hard, firm, and lasting: fit for posts and doors.<\/p>\n doors: Joh 10:9, Joh 14:6, Eph 3:18, Heb 10:19, Heb 10:20 <\/p>\n a fifth part: or, five square <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 6:5 – oracle 2Ki 18:16 – gold 2Ch 4:22 – the entry Eze 41:2 – the door Eze 41:23 – General<\/p>\n 1Ki 6:31. The lintel and side-posts were a fifth part of the wall The original text here is very obscure, there being nothing in it for the words, of the wall; but only, The lintel and side-posts were a fifth, which may be understood to signify, that they held the proportion of a fifth part of the doors. But some think the meaning is, that this gate was the fifth in number belonging to the house. The first, they say, was that which led into the court of the people; the second, that which led into the court of the priests; the third was the door of the porch; the fourth, that of the holy place; and this fifth, of the oracle, or most holy. And in this way they interpret a similar expression, (1Ki 6:33,) which we render a fourth part of the wall, the words, of the wall, being not in the Hebrew, they understand it of the fourth gate; namely, that of the holy place. But the most probable meaning is, as our translators have understood it to be, that the doors, including the lintel and side-posts, here mentioned, as well as the valves, took up a fifth part of the wall or partition, being four cubits in breadth.<\/p>\n And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall]. 31 36.
