Contextual Overview

12 And the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about; and its length ninety cubits. 13 And he measured the house: the length a hundred cubits; and the separate place, and the building, and its walls, the length a hundred cubits; 14 and the breadth of the front of the house, and of the separate places toward the east, a hundred cubits. 15 And he measured the length of the building before the separate place, which was at the back of it, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court. 16 The thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about the three of them (opposite the thresholds it was wainscoted with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered), 17 [and] above, over the entry, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about, within and without, [all was] by measure. 18 And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees, and a palm-tree was between cherub and cherub; and the cherub had two faces: 19 the face of a man was toward the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm-tree on the other side: [so] was it made upon all the house round about. 20 From the ground unto above the entry were the cherubim and the palm-trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple. 21 As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and the front of the sanctuary had the same appearance.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves,.... Each of these doors had two leaves, which met in a middle post, and might be opened either singly or together, as occasion required;

:-:

two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door; two for the door of the temple, and two for the door of the most holy place; or each leaf of both doors had two foldings; as there were two leaves in a door, there were two foldings in every leaf; so that the door might be opened wider or narrower, as was thought fit; denoting the greater number of persons let in, and the greater light and knowledge had, at one time than at another; see 1 Kings 6:31.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
