Gill's Notes on the 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;

:-;

:-;

:-; 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 ועב עץ אל פני האולם מהחוץ "etiam denso ligno in fronte vestibuli extrinsecus", Junius Tremellius "et trabs lignea ante vestibulum erat foris", Starckius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ezekiel 41:25

Thick planks - Others render it: leaves in wood (and in Ezekiel 41:26).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 41:25. There were thick planks — The wood, or planks, were thick and strong; for the cherubim and palm trees were carved in relief, out of their substance, and unless they had been of considerable thickness, this could not have been done.
