The two doors also<\/em> were] As there is nothing to make the noun here definite, it is better to understand the verb ‘he made.’ Render ‘so he made<\/em> two doors of olive-wood.’<\/p>\n and spread gold<\/em> ] Better, and made necessary by the text, ‘and he<\/strong> spread the<\/strong> gold.’ Here a different process is described. The walls and floors were covered with flat plates of gold nailed on (see 2Ch 3:9<\/span>), but to cover the carved work the gold must be beaten to fit. The verb employed here gives the idea of pressure exerted to force the metal into the needful shapes.<\/p>\n The two doors – <\/B>i. e., two leaves which met in the middle, as in the Assyrian gate-ways generally.<\/P> Spread gold – <\/B>The doors were not simply sheeted with gold, like the floors 1Ki 6:30<\/span>, but had the gold hammered to fit the forms of the palms, cherubs, and flowers carved upon them. 1Ki 6:35<\/span>. Such hammered metal-work, generally in bronze, has been found in tolerable abundance among the Assyrian remains.<\/P><\/p>\n The two doors also [were of] olive tree<\/strong>,…. The two leaves of the door, as before observed, repeated for the sake of the ornament of them, as follows:<\/p>\n and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims, and palm trees, and open flowers<\/strong>; as upon the walls, 1Ki 6:29<\/span>;<\/p>\n and overlaid [them] with gold<\/strong>; the two doors:<\/p>\n and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees<\/strong>; thin plates of gold.<\/p>\n (32) The two doors.<\/strong>Those into the Holy place from the porch, of cypress wood, were naturally made larger. The posts were a fourth of the wall. Hence, according as the wall is taken to be 20 cubits square, or 30 cubits high by 20 wide, the height would be 5 cubits (7 feet), or 7 cubits (11 feet). The width is not given; possibly it is taken to be the same as that of the other doors. As these doors would be much heavier, and more frequently opened and shut, each leaf was made to fold again upon itself.<\/p>\n 32<\/strong>. <\/strong> The two doors <\/strong> The doors of the oracle seem to have been merely a double door, the two parts closing towards each other, and therefore not so complicated as the outer door of the temple. 1Ki 6:34<\/span>. They moved on hinges of gold. 1Ki 7:50<\/span>. In Italy the church doors usually stand open, but the doorway in closed over with a heavy curtain, and such seems to have been the usage in the case of these doors to the oracle.<\/p>\n 1Ki 6:32 The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.<\/p>\n Ver. 32.

The two doors also were of olive-tree Or, The leaves of the doors; signifying what sort of doors they were, namely, folding-doors, as is more particularly observed 1Ki 6:34. He carved upon them carvings of cherubims, &c., and overlaid them with gold When the veil, which covered this whole partition, with the doors of it, was drawn aside to give entrance to the high-priest into the holy of holies on the great day of atonement, then these beautiful doors of olive-tree, thus overlaid with gold, and curiously engraved, were displayed to his view, and the view of such priests as might be in the holy place; but otherwise they were seldom seen, and never but by the priests only.<\/p>\n 6:32 The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and {n} spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.<\/p>\n (n) So that the fashion of the carved work might still appear.<\/p>\n The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees. 32.
