Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

41:1-26 After the prophet had observed the courts, he was brought to the temple. If we attend to instructions in the plainer parts of religion, and profit by them, we shall be led further into an acquaintance with the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple,.... Both of the holy, and the most holy place:

cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; the doors of both places had the same decorations as the walls of each; See Gill on Ezekiel 41:18; See Gill on Ezekiel 41:19; See Gill on Ezekiel 41:20; and so it was in Solomon's temple, 1 Kings 6:32, a cherub and a palm tree on each leaf, or on each folding of a leaf, according as it would admit of:

and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without; on the outward front of the porch were some thick wainscot boards, which projected as a cover to the entrance into it; or, as it may be rendered, also on

the thick piece of wood in the front of the porch without (r); which, as Starckius thinks, was a large wooden bar, which shut and held in the folding leaves of the door; and on this, or these thick planks, were cherubim and palm trees.

(r) "etiam denso ligno in fronte vestibuli extrinsecus", Junius & Tremellius; "et trabs lignea ante vestibulum erat foris", Starckius.
