Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And the whole house he overlaid with gold,.... Both the holy place, and the most holy place: until he had finished all the house; in this splendid and glorious manner: also the whole altar that was by the oracle; the altar of incense, which stood just before the entrance into the oracle, or most holy place: he overlaid with gold; 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, Rev 8:
