33 In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall.
33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
33 So also he made for the entrance to the nave doorposts of olivewood, in the form of a square,
33 Similarly, he built the entrance to the Main Sanctuary using olivewood for the doorposts but these doorposts were four-sided.
33 So for the door of the sanctuary he also made doorposts of olive wood, one-fourth of the wall.
33 Then he made four-sided doorposts of wild olive wood for the entrance to the Temple.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Kings 6:33
Commentary on 1 Kings 6:15-38
(Read 1 Kings 6:15-38)
See what was typified by this temple. 1. Christ is the true Temple. In him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead; in him meet all God's spiritual Israel; through him we have access with confidence to God. 2. Every believer is a living temple, in whom the Spirit of God dwells, 1 Corinthians 3:16. This living temple is built upon Christ as its Foundation, and will be perfect in due time. 3. The gospel church is the mystical temple. It grows to a holy temple in the Lord, enriched and beautified with the gifts and graces of the Spirit. This temple is built firm, upon a Rock. 4. Heaven is the everlasting temple. There the church will be fixed. All that shall be stones in that building, must, in the present state of preparation, be fitted and made ready for it. Let sinners come to Jesus as the living Foundation, that they may be built on him, a part of this spiritual house, consecrated in body and soul to the glory of God.
