34 and two doors of fir wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
*Minor differences ignored. Grouped by changes, with first version listed as example.
Fir-tree - Rather, juniper (1-Kings 5:6 note). Each door was made in two parts, which folded back one on the other like shutters, by means of hinges. The weight of the doors no doubt made it inconvenient to open the whole door on every occasion.
And the two doors were of fir tree,.... the posts were of olive, but the doors of fir, and they were both folding doors, as appears by what follows:
the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding; which, taking up less room, made the passage wider, see Ezekiel 41:24.
