2 Chronicles 4:22
Compare all
20 the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn ain the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary,  
21 with athe flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold, of purest gold;  
22 the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the1 sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.

2 Chronicles 4:22

The doors - were of gold - That is, were overlaid with golden plates, the thickness of which we do not know.

That every thing in the tabernacle and temple was typical or representative of some excellence of the Gospel dispensation may be readily credited, without going into all the detail produced by the pious author of Solomon' s Temple Spiritualized. We can see the general reference and the principles of the great design, though we may not be able to make a particular application of the knops, the flowers, the pomegranates, the tongs, and the snuffers, to some Gospel doctrines: such spiritualizing is in most cases weak, silly, religious trifling; being ill calculated to produce respect for Divine revelation.
