Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And the two doors were of fir tree,.... the posts were of olive, but the doors of fir, and they were both folding doors, as appears by what follows: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding; which, taking up less room, made the passage wider, see Eze 41:24.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Fir-tree - Rather, juniper (1Ki 5:6 note). Each door was made in two parts, which folded back one on the other like shutters, by means of hinges. The weight of the doors no doubt made it inconvenient to open the whole door on every occasion.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
