Ezekiel 41:23-25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors Each of them had a double, or folding-door. And the doors had two leaves apiece The two doors being exceedingly large, that of the outward sanctuary ten cubits broad, and that of the inner six, (see Ezekiel 41:2-3,) and of a height proportionable; each of them had two leaves, that they might be more easily opened, and each leaf had a wicket in it. And there were made on them, &c., cherubims and palm-trees Namely, on the doors both of the outward and inward sanctuary. And there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without There was a wainscot work of boards fastened to the end of the great beams, which came out beyond the wall of the porch. These were laid so as to make a frieze-work over the entrance of the eastern porch.
